◊ ( define - meta title "columns" )
◊ hanging - topic [ ( topic - from - metas metas ) ] { Your call }
They ’ re unusual in legal documents , but I don ’ t object to ◊ em { columns } in a long document like a ◊ xref { contract } or settlement agreement . Columns are an easy way to get a shorter and more legible ◊ xref { line length } without having to use large margins . On a standard 8.5 ″ × 11 ″ page , two or three columns are fine . Four is too many .
Usually columns look neatest when the rows of text are aligned vertically between columns ( i . e . , as if they were sitting on the same baseline ) . Look at a decent newspaper for an example . Getting this result takes a little extra effort . Note your ◊ xref { line spacing } and make sure any ◊ xref { space between paragraphs } works out to a whole multiple of the line spacing . The two most common options: set space between paragraphs to zero , or set it to be the same as the line spacing .
