Is there a way to get balanced columns in a multi-column page layout?

Columns in a page are always balanced, in that the simple page geometry only provides for a column count and a column gap ... thus, the column widths are always equal.


I
searched through Ken's book and didn't see anything that looked like it
would do it.

Follow the property hyperlinks on page 90 to column-count= and column-gap= (if you use the 1-up PDF file the hyperlinks are active; if you are using the 2-up PDF file the hyperlinks are disabled; clicking on a page number takes you to the page in my book, clicking on a section number brings up the section of the specification itself in a browser window).


I will bring out this topic into a page of its own, around pages 85-86.

Thanks, Eliot!
