lineno with multicol

Post by gtilma »

I'm using the lineno package together with multicol and have run into the following problem: whenever I insert a \columnbreak, lineno doesn't count the next line, but skips one and continues counting. So, if line 15 ends a column, then \columnbreak is inserted, the first line of the next column has no number but the second one is 16. I've checked the user manual (ulineno.pdf) and this forum, but can't find a solution/workaround. Any ideas?

Never mind -- fixed. Here's what I had before:

Code: Select all

...mytext\columnbreak
\\mytext...\\
And here's the correct syntax:

Code: Select all

...mytext\\
\columnbreak
\\mytext...\\
I was trying to transcribe a poetic text with line numbers. Evidently, \columnbreak needs line breaks before and after it. Sorry if this was obvious to others. Hope it helps someone with the same problem.
