<DIV>Hi</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm typesetting the Code of Hammurapi for my class. It features very long columns which should be formatted in newspaper style (get to bottom of page, start at top of next column; repeat on subsequent pages as necessary).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Evidently tabular won't wrap across columns, and I'd prefer for obvious reasons not to have to insert manual breaks.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What's my best/simplest bet for doing this? Current code below (the cuneiform won't show up of course unless you have an appropriate font). Sample of what it looks like attached (assuming attachments get through...)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>(Side-bonus: if the empty first box--above "26" and to the left of "§1" could not have borders, and likewise below, that would be nice too.)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks!</DIV>
