Hi again Marcello, I was somehow busy and forgot that I made a promise to give you a better answer than I did about bilingual texts on two columns. If you need only to print some simple texts on two columns, there is no major issues. Problems occur when you want to print two texts in different

Hi Marcello, As you say "this feature could be really interesting", but as far as I know, there are many issues to deal with, in order to print 2 columns on the same page with different languages (say : greek and latin). This is not only because of two languages (say : english and russian, or

Hi Arthur, Thanks a lot for your advise. I'm looking forward to the mechanism you're talking to (streams) and I don't give up for testing a useful kind of typesetting where the goal is to place 2 or 3 parallel paragraphs into columns on the even page (e. g. mainly greek & latin & modern
