We don't mind manually editing a file to accomplish this. I would not know how to do that (nicely, or at all). Using buffers may be easier. Taco PS I mostly reply because this is the last 'open' email message in my inbox (i weeded about 300 messages after eurotex), so you all know that if I have not replied to you yet, I will not at all, and you may have to re-send something if you want my attention. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

We have question blocks, longanswer blocks, and shortanswer blocks. We are typesetiing all in 2-column mode. However, every now and then, one of the longanswer blocks is too difficult to typeset in two column mode and we'd like to switch over to 1-column mode. So, if we to texmfstart texexec --mode=long filename, with source somewhat like the following, some of our long answers, say exercises 25-30, really need to be set in one-column mode. We are looking for ideas. % Exercise #1 \beginquestion \startquestion \stopquestion \endquestion \beginlonganswer \startanswer \stopanswer \endlonganswer \beginshortanswer \startanswer \stopanswer \endshortanswer ... % Exercise #40 \beginquestion \startquestion \stopquestion \endquestion \beginlonganswer \startanswer \stopanswer \endlonganswer \beginshortanswer \startanswer \stopanswer \endshortanswer \placeanswers\kern0pt On Jul 11, 2006, at 7:07 AM, Taco Hoekwater wrote: > > Hi David, > > David Arnold wrote: >> All, >> >> If we have about 45 question blocks and accompanying answer blocks, >> how can we typset some of the answer blocks in two column mode, other >> of the answer blocks in one column mode, and the rest back in two >> column mode.
