two-page layout with synced paragraph locations (xsl:fo / latex / docbook / ...)


I would like to have the following output in a pdf:

left side (odd page):

  • paragraph A/1
  • paragraph B/1
  • paragraph C/1

right side (even page):

  • paragraph A/2
  • paragraph B/2
  • paragraph C/2

I would like to position the paragraphs that B/1 begins around the same line as B/2, C/1 with C/2... Is there any method in xsl:of, latex, docbook stylesheet, any other publishing-related technology that supports this layout?


Solution

  • This is possible in LaTeX with the parallel package. It's most likely easy with ConText.
