<div dir="ltr">Hi, as discussed in the comments to the answer to the TeX.SX question[1], unfortunately pullquote is not available on CTAN because the author feels it has shortcomings and doesn't feel it would have broad enough usage to justify the effort in reducing those shortcomings.<div><br></div><div>Since it's not on CTAN, using it is a bit of a manual process. Also, since it's not released, the usage of the package may change without warning and support is somewhat "at your own risk", though typically the TeX community is pretty good at supporting bits of code like this. Knowing this, if you still want to use pullquote, you have to grab the pullquote.dtx file (and pq-alice.jpg and pq-duck.pdf from the same directory in order to produce the documentation) from the development sources[2] and process it into a usable .sty file for your local machine. There is also a test file pullquote_test.tex in the same development repository so you could test your generated pullquote.sty file.</div><div><br></div><div>There are numerous articles/posts around the web about processing .dtx files if you've never done this before.</div><div><br></div><div>Hope this helps,</div><div><br></div><div>PG<br><div><br></div><div>[1]: <a href="https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/53073/21344">https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/53073/21344</a></div></div><div>[2]: <a href="https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~tex-sx/tex-sx/development/view/head:/pullquote.dtx">https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~tex-sx/tex-sx/development/view/head:/pullquote.dtx</a></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 30 January 2018 at 13:40, Peter Wilson <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:herries.press@earthlink.net" target="_blank">herries.press@earthlink.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p>I have vague recollections of a pullquote package. I haven't
found it but it might have been described in a TUGboat article.
There is my and Alan Hoenig's cutwin package which might be of
some help but it does not directly deal with two-column text.</p>
