Text Formatting ⇒ Multicolumns: title on each column

[anta40]

Making mutlicolumns article is pretty easy, by using the multicol package.

Now I'm wondering how to make each column has its own title, like this:

What's the easiest way?

Use either the parallel or parcolumns package. And please upload attachments to the forum server next time (see Board Rules).

OK. Now I'm using parralel.
Works pretty much as I expected.

Strangely, a small vertical line appears on the left column.
I think it's due the title, because if the title is removed, then the line will not appear.

Here's how I make the title, anyway:

Code: Select all

\begin{center}
Blah blah
\end{center

Since you are not new to the forum you should know that a minimal working example (MWE) is essential to get closer to a solution.

Ah OK. I was typing this on Lyx, and now this is the plain latex version:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fullpage}
\usepackage{parallel}

\begin{document}

\begin{Parallel}[v]{7.2cm}{7.2cm}
\ParallelLText{
\begin{center}
Blah blah
\end{center}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. 
Quisque euismod, augue at dictum consequat, ante turpis consequat augue, at consectetur dolor ligula tincidunt augue. 
Donec lacus eros, sollicitudin et fringilla eu, porta vel metus. Morbi ligula mi, tincidunt sed rutrum eget, dictum ac ipsum. 
Nam ut enim nunc, eget sollicitudin quam. Duis ultrices interdum consequat. Nulla condimentum sapien non turpis blandit sodales. 
Nunc hendrerit tortor dapibus quam convallis ut cursus velit molestie. Donec erat ante, interdum vel varius a, euismod at dolor.
}
\ParallelRText{
\begin{center}
Blah blah
\end{center}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Quisque euismod, augue at dictum consequat, ante turpis consequat augue, at 
consectetur dolor ligula tincidunt augue. Donec lacus eros, sollicitudin et fringilla eu, porta vel metus. Morbi ligula mi, tincidunt sed rutrum eget, dictum ac 
ipsum. Nam ut enim nunc, eget sollicitudin quam. Duis ultrices interdum consequat. Nulla condimentum sapien non turpis blandit sodales. Nunc hendrerit tortor 
dapibus quam convallis ut cursus velit molestie. Donec erat ante, interdum vel varius a, euismod at dolor.
}
\end{Parallel}

\end{document}

Both produce the same result.

Hi,

try with this:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fullpage}
\usepackage{parallel}

\begin{document}

\begin{Parallel}[v]{7.2cm}{7.2cm}
\ParallelLText{%
\noindent\hfil Blah blah\hfil\par
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. 
Quisque euismod, augue at dictum consequat, ante turpis consequat augue, at consectetur dolor ligula tincidunt augue. 
Donec lacus eros, sollicitudin et fringilla eu, porta vel metus. Morbi ligula mi, tincidunt sed rutrum eget, dictum ac ipsum. 
Nam ut enim nunc, eget sollicitudin quam. Duis ultrices interdum consequat. Nulla condimentum sapien non turpis blandit sodales. 
Nunc hendrerit tortor dapibus quam convallis ut cursus velit molestie. Donec erat ante, interdum vel varius a, euismod at dolor.
}
\ParallelRText{%
\noindent\hfil Blah blah\hfil\par
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Quisque euismod, augue at dictum consequat, ante turpis consequat augue, at 
consectetur dolor ligula tincidunt augue. Donec lacus eros, sollicitudin et fringilla eu, porta vel metus. Morbi ligula mi, tincidunt sed rutrum eget, dictum ac 
ipsum. Nam ut enim nunc, eget sollicitudin quam. Duis ultrices interdum consequat. Nulla condimentum sapien non turpis blandit sodales. Nunc hendrerit tortor 
dapibus quam convallis ut cursus velit molestie. Donec erat ante, interdum vel varius a, euismod at dolor.
}
\end{Parallel}

\end{document}

Edit: in the above code, you could also use

Code: Select all

{\centering Blah blah\par}

(note the use of the grouping braces) instead of

Code: Select all

\noindent\hfil Blah blah\hfil\par
