I want to create two columns next to each other. The left side contains a text in two columns using the multicol package. On the left side is some other content.
I've tried minipage, but in combination with multicol it fails in vertical aligning both minipages correctly. Minimal working example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\begin{minipage}[t]{0.5\linewidth}
\noindent
\begin{multicols}{2}
\blindtext
\end{multicols}
\end{minipage}
\begin{minipage}[t]{0.5\linewidth}
\blindtext
\end{minipage}
\end{document}
The result, with a vertical misalignment of the top of both texts:
Am I doing something wrong here?
....\begin{document} \noindent \begin{minipage}[t]{0.5\linewidth} ~ \vspace{-2\baselineskip} \begin{multicols}{1} ...
