Two column output

Two column output

How do I get two column output with org-mode ?  I'm not looking for tables
but more like what you get in a newspaper article.  Is that possible to do
with org-mode ?

For the most part this is for publishing to HTML and PDF.


cheers,

      mehul

For LaTeX/PDF, this should suffice:

#+LATEX_CLASS_OPTIONS: [twocolumn]

For HTML, I have no idea.

One of the things I would like to do is be able to have two side-by-side
source code blocks so that I can do a comparison of the two.

Hello Mehul,

for HTML you would need to find/modify/write your own css template. I find
the relatively recent Bootstrap package rather convenient for doing things
like that because it defines a grid right away out of the box and gives you
the means for defining columns and rectangular areas (boxes).
http://getbootstrap.com. See
http://getbootstrap.com/getting-started/#examples and
http://getbootstrap.com/examples/jumbotron-narrow/

There is a package integrating orgmode export with bootstrap called o-blog.
https://github.com/renard/o-blog. Here is an example of source code in a
second column next to text:
http://renard.github.io/o-blog/index.html (scroll down a little after the
large heading "Quick Start Guide").

For HTML you'll want to write your own CSS.  This is similar to what
you're after.

Hi Iannis,

        Thanks.  This might be what I'm looking for, it certainly looks
like what I want.


cheers,

This looks good as well.  I'm going to play around with this and what
Iannis suggested about using Bootstrap and o-blog.

cheers,
