Denis: Thanks, that is very helpful starting point which proves that it is possible! I have tried the suggestions there, but, so far: * I cannot adjust the gap ("distance" or "gutter") between the columns * It seems impossible to turn-on a column-separating ruled line * It would be useful to have a method for controlling orphan / widow behaviour (such that a footnote in the left column doesn't spill-over as just a single line into the 2nd column). Any comments or ideas?
