So I was reading this answer and liked the result with tcolorbox:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/271436/98870
The solution is to effectively use the following code:
\begin{tcolorbox}[
blanker,
width=0.64\textwidth,enlarge left by=0.36\textwidth,
before skip=6pt,
breakable,
overlay unbroken and first={%
\node[inner sep=0pt,outer sep=0pt,text width=0.33\textwidth,
align=none,
below right]
at ([xshift=-0.36\textwidth]frame.north west)
{
LEFT COLUMN TEXT
};}]
RIGHT COLUMN TEXT
\end{tcolorbox}
The answer insists
If needed, everything could be put into a macro or environment for a nicer interface.
But I am unsure on how to do this. I assumed it meant an environment like this
\begin{twocolumns}
LEFT COLUMN TEXT
\nextcolumn
RIGHT COLUMN TEXT
\end{twocolumns}
But I don't see how to do this easily with the \newenvironment{}
command due to the use of the braces throughout the solution (e.g. the
\nextcolumn
" command would amount to the closing of the node with the line };}]
). Any help with getting it into this above form or something more usable (is there a better idea? not sure!) is greatly appreciated!
