Subject: How to typeset two columns with longer text
Date: Tue, 10 Sep 2013 11:54:50 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <op.w26whoxptpjj8f@lpr> (raw)
Hello,
suppose we need to typeset text into two (generally: several) columns.
Depending on the length of the text in the first (generally: i-th) column we need to choose an alternative:
1)
Short-text Some-text-in-the-second-column
Another-text Some-other-text
or:
2)
Very-long-text-in-the-1st-column
Some-text-in-the-second-column
Another-text Some-other-text
So, when the text in the first (or i-th resp.) column is too long, we need to go to the next row (generally: leaving all remaining columns empty) and skip the first column (generally: all columns being too long so far) automatically.
Is there a way how to achieve this automatically, without manual check?
(Suppose typesetting columns with \tabulate command(s) with width of the first column specified, like "|lw(2in)|p|".)
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Lukas
