How can I align paragraphs on the verso with paragraphs on the
facing recto page, like this:
verso recto
+------------------+------------------+
| one one one on- | 1111111 1111 |
| e one one one | 1111 1111 1111 |
| | 1111 |

Why you'd want to do this:
1. Explaining a program: the code is on the right,
and the text explaining it is on the left.
2. Translation of a foreign language: original
on the left, translation on the right.
3. Cooking recipes: list of ingredients on the
left, instructions on the right. (Only a
few cookery books use this; they list the ingred.
in order of use; and usually it's typeset on
a single page, where you could use a table
to do this sort of layout.)
I need it for (1), i.e. program descriptions.
I can't use a table as in (3) because the listing
has to be on a page by itself.
Thanks,
Niall
