renew section command with tabular sections

Question

I want to renew the section command so each section will follow by a fully two columns tabular. it seems that it should be like:

\renewcommand{\section}[1]
{ 
\hfill\newline {#1}:\newline 
\begin{tabular}{ll}
}

the problem is \end{tabular} which I don't know where should I put it without need of something like endsection.

any idea?

Answer 1

If you want two columns in your document you should use the twocolumn class option. If you only want two-column style in your section (which is kind of funny) it would be better to use the multicol package and its {multicols}{<number>} environment instead of tabular. I would then still avoid redefining \section and simply adding this environments by hand.
