Multiple column layout in LaTeX

To create a multiple column layout in LaTeX is easy. What you need is the multicol package.

\usepackage{multicol}

For example, to create a two column layout.

\begin{multicols}{2}
put the contents here
\end{multicols}

To manually break the column, use the \columnbreak command.

\begin{multicols}{2}
Column 1
\columnbreak
Column 2
\end{multicols}

If you are using standard LaTeX class, such as “article”, you can simple create a two column layout using the code below:

\documentclass[twocolumn]{article}

  1. Great post.. Thank you for sharing..

  2. There’s an typo in your examples:
    it should read:
    \end{multicols}
    with a ‘t’ no ‘mulicols.’

    Cheers.
