Hello,
I have to present a text and its translation (spanning several pages) in two horizontal slabs in each page, like in the following example from an old book:

I went through the documentation of both parallel and paracol packages, but they only seem to manage parallel columns ( i ...

Thank you, Clemens, for your help. Unfortunately, it seems that, in my actual document, the command \addDes (which is the analogue of \addVoice in the MWE) is not expandable:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[polutonikogreek,italian]{babel}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{hanging ...

Hello,
I'm trying to call the macro \verbum (defined via \NewDocumentCommand ) from the other macro \regVerbum , but it seems that the mandatory argument taken by the \Splitlist processor in \verbum command has not been expanded.

Here it is a minimal working example:

\documentclass{article ...

I describe a really horrible procedure to work around the problem and get a useful pdf. However I warn and stress that it is a really dirty trick and, therefore, it should be used ONLY when every byte of your document is correctly placed and ready to be printed...

Consider the following MWE ...

Stefan, unfortunately it doesn't work, as shown in the following MWE:
\documentclass[twocolumn]{book}

\let\origfootnote\footnote
\usepackage{bigfoot}

\begin{document}
eaque ipsa quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt explicabo. Nemo enim ipsam voluptatem quia ...

Hello,
I am in the final phase of the document preparation, so I'm quite sure that pages will not change before printing.

I noticed that, for some strange reason, bigfoot breaks some footnotes across pages, even if there is enough normal text below the last footnotemark in the page(so that I would ...

It is exactly what I needed, thanks!
There is still an issue (shown in the following MWE) I'm not able to understand:
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{bigfoot}
\DeclareNewFootnote[para]{B}%[alph] % please uncomment the [alph] option to see the difference
\begin{document}
Text\footnoteB{a paragraph ...

Hello,
within bigfoot documentation it is said that:
Footnotes can be formatted in separate paragraphs, or be run into a single paragraph. The choice is made per footnote apparatus, but can be overridden for single footnotes.
However, while it is clear that \DeclareNewFootnote[para]{B}[alph] sets ...

Hello!

I would like to enable microtype protrusion within a shapepar text, but the following MWE shows that it is not straightforward (at least to me):


\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{microtype}
\usepackage{shapepar}
\newcommand\sqrr{\shapepar{{0}
{0}b{0}
\\{0.1}t{-50}{100}
\\{100}t{-50}{100 ...

Hello,

I use bigfoot package and I would like to reset preferences (penalties?) for footnote page breaks exactly as they are in the basic LaTeX default. An example showing the differences is the following (please uncomment the two commented lines to switch to bigfoot behavior):
