I am using the columns
environment in Beamer-documents like this:
\begin{columns}
\begin{column}{0.8\textwidth}
%%
\end{column}
\begin{column}{0.2\textwidth}
%%
\end{column}
\end{columns}
I am getting tired of having to change the width of the second column each time I adjust the first one.
Basically I am searching for a columns environment where the column-width-argument is optional – if you don't specify it is computed like this:
max(0, (complete_width - sum_of_explicitly_specified_width) / number_of_implicit_cols)
How can setup something like this with LaTeX?
