Start two columns *from this point on*

Post by ptrcao »

The first page will contain an abstract, a paragraph with wide margins to either side. From this point on, I want the article layout to be split into two columns. But this two column implentation begins at some arbitrary location about halfway down the first page and carries through to the end of the article. However, there is no clean way I know of doing this.

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p
