Splitting a page in given ratios

Splitting a page in given ratios

[Matthias Weber]

Dear all,

this is probably even easy in plain TeX, but as I have never learned  
it properly,
I am asking anyway:


I would like to have a way to split a part of a page into two columns  
of different width, so something like

\startsplitpage[columns=2,spacing=fill]

\startcolumn[1][width=.6 \textwidth]

\input{tufte}
\stopcolumn[1]

\startcolumn[2][width=.3 \textwidth]
\placefigure[theBeerBottle]
\stopcolumn[2]

\stopsplitpage

so that the individual columns are treated (if possible) as separate  
pages with all features (like \framed etc) adapted to the
page width of the smaller sub-pages.

This could replace (for me) the somehow (for me) disfunctional  
figuretext construct.


Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,

Matthias
