[texhax] double column section headers?

[Schwartz, Steven J]

Thanks all but muliticol will only handle double-width floats and so doesn't satisfy my needs.

I'll stick to my workaholic and see if it spawns problems elsewhere.

Cheers

Sorry, needs package varioref as well – add \usepackage{varioref} to the preamble :p

Hi again Steve



Do you absolutely need the figure/float "HERE" (\begin{figure}[H])?



If not, the starred version works, but places it outside of the multicols, most likely on the next page. It seems that this would be the solution I would use, though others may have another (more elegant) solution?





\usepackage{pstricks-add} % for \psLoop

\begin{document}

\begin{multicols}{2}

\psLoop{100}{Testing }



Figure \vref{fig1}



\begin{figure*}

\begin{center}

\fbox{\textbf{Hello!}}

\end{center}

\caption{Testing as well} \label{fig1}

\end{figure*}



\psLoop{100}{Lorem ipsum }

\end{multicols}





\end{document}



Hubert
