|_________________|
I have a series of abstracts in two languages that should appear in
parallel columns, such that if the space on one page is not
sufficient, the rest is printed on the next page on the corresponding
column. This is different from the two-column style in which text that
doesn't fit on the left column is continued on the right column of the
same page.
A solution that doesn't work is using minipage environments. If one of
the parallel abstracts is too long to fit on the page, then both
columns are placed on the next page, leaving a large amount of the
previous page unused.
Any hints will be greatly appreciated [I did check all the style
sources I know of without success; I also looked at the LaTeX source
to try to find how normal pagination is done, but I'm afraid I'm too
much of a neophyte to understand it...]
