[Tex/LaTex] scientific report two columns

document-classestwo-column

While looking for something on this site I accidentally found a document class which is perfect for a scientific report with two columns layout.

Unfortunately I forgot its name. Could someone point me out the document classes which implements two column layout without using multicol packages?

Best Answer

There are some special classes primarily for paper submissions which offer a two-columned text body with easy float placement.

There are probably some more which I don't remember at the moment. And I'm not sure if these classes are good for general use and documents that go beyond a certain number of pages.

[Tex/LaTex] Two Column Layout for Tables

use the tabbing environment instead of a longtable. It can be set in a \twocolumnmode. The first line is killed after defining the tabstops. However, if you can set all lines in \ttfamily, then you need nothing, all will be fine. Alternatively put the first "C(..) = " in a box of a fixed width. The it is also formatted, because all digits are of the same width.

\documentclass[11pt]{article} 
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} 
\textheight=5cm
\def\Z{\phantom{0}}
\begin{document}
\twocolumn

\small\ttfamily
\begin{tabbing}
   C(10) \== \=5.0000000000000-001 \\\kill   
   C(\Z1) \>=\> 0.0000000000000+000 \\
   C(\Z2) \>=\> 5.0000000000000-001 \\     
   C(\Z3) \>=\> 0.0000000000000+000 \\
   C(\Z4) \>=\> 5.0000000000000-001 \\
   C(\Z5) \>=\> 0.0000000000000+000 \\
   C(\Z6) \>=\> 5.0000000000000-001 \\     
   C(\Z7) \>=\> 0.0000000000000+000 \\
   C(\Z8) \>=\> 5.0000000000000-001 \\
   C(\Z9)  \>=\> 0.0000000000000+000 \\
   C(10) \>=\> 5.0000000000000-001 \\  
   C(11) \>=\> 0.0000000000000+000 \\
   C(12) \>=\> 5.0000000000000-001 \\
   C(13) \>=\> 0.0000000000000+000 \\
   C(14) \>=\> 5.0000000000000-001 \\     
   C(15) \>=\> 0.0000000000000+000 \\
   C(16) \>=\> 5.0000000000000-001 \\ 
   C(17) \>=\> 5.0000000000000-001 \\   
   C(18) \>=\> 5.0000000000000-001 \\
   C(19) \>=\> 5.0000000000000-001 \\
   C(20) \>=\> 5.0000000000000-001 \\

[Tex/LaTex] Making a long table continue over two columns

Use the \twocolumn format, then you can use the package supertabular

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{supertabular}

\begin{document}
\twocolumn
\tablehead{Header of first column & Header of second column \\}

\begin{supertabular}{ccc}
Table cell 1, 1 & Table cell 1, 2 \\
Table cell 2, 1 & Table cell 2, 2 \\
Table cell 1, 1 & Table cell 1, 2 \\
...
...
\end{supertabular}

\end{document}

together with the package multicols you can only use the tabbing environment.
