Subject: balancing columns with little formatted entries
Date: 22 Sep 1999 16:59:43 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m3puza64sg.fsf@kali.coe.uga.edu> (raw)
I'm using two-column mode to format a directory with entries that are
set up as vboxes. I'm finding that the columns often turn out
unbalanced, and I suspect that perhaps my code is not high-level
enough.
I'm interested in making sure that any given entry on the page is not
ever split between pages, so a vbox seems OK, but then, it's not
working as I expected.
Rather than post a large amount of code to show how multiple pages
look, I've put several files at this URL:

Basically, I try to use rubber vertical glue between the vboxes to
ensure that TeX will expand the vertical space between the vboxes so
that the columns might be balanced easily.
