I am typesetting a document with the memoir document class with 'twocolumn' passed in the setting and I would like to be able to switch between the 'article' setting for chapters (i.e., that the chapter is embedded in the column)
and the default setting for chapters (i.e., that the chapter isn't embedded in the column)
throughout the course of the document.
Here is the code for these two images
\documentclass[
article,
10pt,
oneside,
openany,
twocolumn
]{memoir}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\chapter{Test}
\lipsum[1-4]
\end{document}
the article parameter is commented out for the second image. I am aware of using the 'multicol' package to possibly achieve this similar to this question but I wanted to know if there was a way to do this natively in memoir.
articleoption in the first place? It affects how\chapteris displayed (like section), plus sets up a few other things. What exactly are you missing from just not using thearticleoption?articleoption in order to get the chapter embedded in the text (rather than spanning both columns). I would like to know if there is a way to do that without using thearticleoption or vice versa.\artopttrue \chapterstyle{article}in the preamble and noarticleoption. Thearticleoption sets\artoptto true and then then the rest of thememoircode loads. By setting it after you only get the macros who them self react to that switch being true.
