Hello *roffers.
Excuse me if this question has been answered zillions of time,
or if it is all absurd, but I don't find an answer ...
I want to typeset parallel texts, like a translation, the original
*always* in the left column, the translation *always* right. TeX has
the "parallel" package which does exactly that.
Is a thing like that possible in groff, any macro package?
Moreover, is a thing possible not to have vertical columns, but
horizontal texts, above and below, like
page 1 page 2
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ...aaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
--------------- ---------------
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbb ...bbbbbbbbbbbb
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbb... bbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
What would I have to learn to write a page trap macro or a diversion
&c. to get this effect? Perhaps a modification of footnotes?
Cheers, Erich
