General ⇒ Divide a page into columns of unequal width?

[asgrrr]

Is it possible to divide a page into columns of unequal width?

I searched for this a long time ago, then gave up.

But I'm back!!!1

No, this is a weak spot of LaTeX.

It's not default LaTeX, but some package may help, such as vwcol:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article} 
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage{microtype}
\usepackage{vwcol}  
\begin{document} 
\begin{vwcol}[widths = {0.6,0.4}, sep = 0.8cm,
  justify = flush, rule = 0pt, indent = 1cm] 
\blindtext[5] 
\end{vwcol} 
\end{document}

It works on a page, as requested, but not for spanning multiple pages.

If you just want to do it on one page, you can use minipages and specify what percentage of \textwidth you want each side to take up. I did it here: https://daviddaily.dev/david/wod-charac ... ex#L19-L35 (Resultant PDF: https://files.daviddaily.dev/LaTeX/WoD/David.pdf)
