Memoir Twocolumn

Post by remusmp »

Hej,

I came across this issue: I am using memoir with twocolumn option and the baselines of the two columns are misaligned. Whenever I have a new section/chapter title or figure the rows will be misaligned.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,twocolumn,article]{memoir}
\usepackage{lipsum}


\begin{document}

\chapter{Introduction}
\lipsum
\chapter{System}
\lipsum
\end{document}
Is there a way to fix it?

Thank you.
Remus.

Memoir Twocolumn

Post by localghost »

Just for your information. This is not a memoir specific problem. It occurs in every document that is typeset in two columns. The only way I see to avoid this would be to set up a static environment with vertical spaces only in multiples of the length \baselineskip. As you certainly know, LaTeX often uses rubber lengths in vertical spaces to be flexible in preparing a page.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,twocolumn,english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{document}
  \blinddocument
\end{document}

Best regards
Thorsten
