Page Layout ⇒ Multiple text columns

[schmag]

Hi guys.

I'm wanting to be able to have the following page layout.

- n vertical text columns
- n-1 vertical lines between the n vertical text columns
- the ability to put a horizontal line dividing sections of text within a particular column of text (of the n columns)

Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated!

Thanks.

I'm not really sure if I understand you right. But you may take a look at the following example.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[centering,includeheadfoot,margin=2cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\setlength{\columnseprule}{1pt}
\titleformat{\section}{\titlerule\vspace{0.8ex}\bfseries\sffamily\large}{\thesection.}{0.5em}{}

\begin{document}
  \begin{multicols}{3}
    \section{First Section}
    \blindtext[2]

    \section{Second Section}
    \blindtext[2]

    \section{Third Section}
    \blindtext[4]
  \end{multicols}
\end{document}

If this doesn't match your ideas, be more precise in your descriptions.
