Hi list,
I'd like to know if its is possible to get visually balanced
mixedcolumns in lmtx. For example, if I have \blank's between
paragraphs, I would like them to be stretched or expanded by
a such way that the bottommost lines have the same vertical
position -- no matter, how many lines there are in each column and how
exactly they are aligned.
If I understand correctly, that's how the multicols environment in
LaTeX works, and that's how old-multicolumns worked -- but this module
seems to be no longer supported in lmtx.
I tried to disable gridfitting for startcolumns, but it produces a
completely distorted output.

The pagecolumns environment supports bottom aligned content.
