Two columns in landscape?

[Jan Snajder]

Hi,

I'd like to have some pages in landscape orientation as well as in two
columns. I've tried this:

\begin{landscape}
\twocolumn

...text...

\end{landscape}
\onecolumn

but it doesn't work. It seems like landscape and \twocolumn don't get
along too well.

Does anyone know how to solve this?

(I guess setting landscape as documentclass option would work fine,
but I don't want the whole document in landscape, only a few pages.)

Best,
j.

Don't use twocolumn, it's very limited, and only works for the whole document.
Use the multicol package

\begin{multicols}{2}
...
\end{multicols}

Oh I've just figured it out: it works perfect with multicol package
and \begin{multicols}{2} ... \end{multicols}.

So, if you need two columns in landscape, use multicols instead of
\twocolumn.
