[Features] + "paracol" environment in which you may "switch" and "synchronize columns by \switchcolumn(*). + "column", "nthcolumn", "leftcolumn" and "rightcolumn" environments used in "paracol" to enclose texts to appear in a column. + Counters are "local" to each column in default but you may make some of them global to all columns by \globalcounter{<ctr>}. + \definethecounter{<ctr>}{<col>}{<rep>} to give <ctr> its <rep>resentaion specific to <col>-th column. + \addcontentsonly{<file>}{<col>} to allow contents output for <file> only from <col> (new for v1.00). + \columnratio{<r_0>,<r_1>,...} to control the width of each column rather than splitting columns evenly (new for v1.1). - \columncolor[<mode>]{<color>}[<col>] to give the default <color> (with <mode>) to the column <col> (new for v1.2). - \footnotelayout{<layout>} to choose ordinary column-wise footnote typesetting or page-wise typesetting to gather footnotes in all columns (new for v1.2 and *NEW* for v1.3 with better API). - \twosided{<t_1><t_2>...} to enable ordinary two-sided typesetting (<t_i>=p), reversal of printing order of columns in even-numbered pages (<t_i>=c), reversal of margins where marginal notes go to (<t_i>=m), and/or mirroring background painting (<t_i>=b) ('m' and 'b' and better API are *NEW* for v1.3). - "paracol" environment has options for "parallel-paging" to typeset parallel-columns in adjacent page pairs (*NEW* for v1.3). - \thecolumn to let your macros know which columns they are in (*NEW* for v1.3). - \ensurevspace{<len>} to force a page break if a synchronization point would be set leaving a small space less than <len> (*NEW* for v1.3). - \setcolumnwidth{<s_1>,<s_2>,...}[<s'_1>,<s'_2>,...] to specify widths of columns and column-separating gaps more detailedly than \columnratio (*NEW* for v1.3). - \marginparthreshold{<k>}[<k'>] to specify the minimum ordinal <k> of columns whose marginal notes go to right margin (*NEW* for v1.3). - \[no]coloredwordhyphenated to allow/disallow hyphenating the first word following a coloring command (*NEW* for v1.3). - \colseprulecolor[<mode>]{<color>}[<col>] to specify the color of rules drawn in gaps separating columns, i.e., now they can be drawn (*NEW* for v1.3). - \backgroundcolor{<regino>}{<color>}[<mode>] to paint the background of a <region> by <color> (*NEW* for v1.3). - \globalcounter* to make all counters global (*NEW* for v1.32). - Compatible with the new implemenatation of LaTeX (2015/01/10 or later) now (*NEW* for v 1.32). - \belowfootnoteskip to add space below non-merged pre-environment footnotes (*NEW* for v 1.35). - \definecolumnpreamble{<col>}{<pream>} to define the column preamble <pream> for the column <col> (*NEW* for v 1.35). - Emulation of \marginnote[<left>]{<right>}[<voffset>] given by marginnote package (*NEW* for v 1.35). - Bugs found in v1.3 and successors up to v1.34 has been fixed.

paracol – Multiple columns with texts “in parallel”
The package provides yet another multi-column typesetting mechanism by which you produce multi-column (e.g., bilingual) document switching and sychronizing each corresponding part in “parallel”.
