I've been reading about pull quotes. In this question, a great answer is posted with a link to a custom package called pullquote.
I've installed this package and have been trying to make it work, as part of a document which already has two columns. Here's what I want to achieve:
Here is a MWE:
\documentclass[twocolumn]{article}
\usepackage{xunicode}
\usepackage{pullquote}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\begin{document}
\def\addquote
{%
\Large
\begin{tabular}[b]{p{5cm}}
\textit{Wir m\"ussen wissen.}\\
\textit{Wir werden wissen.}\\
\mbox{}\hfill\large\textsc{David Hilbert}\\
\end{tabular}%
}
\lipsum
\begin{pullquote}
{
object={\addquote}
}
\lipsum[1-3]
\end{pullquote}
\lipsum
\end{document}
This gives me THREE columns wherever the pull quote appears:
I've taken code from this discussion about the issue, but can not make it work. Any idea how to implement a pull quote in a two-column layout?
pullquotepackage, and about documents that are already formatted with two columns. The only other information on this same topic I found here came up in the discussion that I linked above, but not in a question with an answer.microtype(pullquotepackage optionnomicrotype). You should have mentioned this. Second: This is a package in development (you could have known this from the package resource): What you show is clearly a bug, and for this kind of issues TeX.SX is the wrong place. In documentation an e-mail address is given, or you try to contact Stephan in chat of TeX.SX.
