Lots and lots of new (and sometimes very advanced) stuff, but still -
to my knowledge (*) - no simple way to arrange a notebook's text and
input cells on multiple columns.
It seems that Mathematica can only have a simple linear layout,
|
| text
|
| formula
|
| figure
|
| text
|
| ...
|
|
V
like most books printed in 18xx and 19xx.
- Yes I'm aware one can create cumbersome tables and put text and
graphics in different columns. What Mathematica lacks (in my opinion, but maybe
I am the only one on Earth thinking that) is a New Kind of Layout.
Perhaps a new supercell structure that can accomodate multiple cells
(input, text, graphics...) in two or more (simply expandable) columns.
Just wishing.
Maybe the Front-end Gods will implement something like that in
Mathematica 14. :-]

(*) I hope to be proved wrong.
