Interesting. Before reverting, maybe you could try detecting page height and then flow from left column to right column with one page height then draw a horizontal rule under than and repeat left to right again with the next page-height's worth of text. I.e., instead of
1 | 4
2 | 5
3 | 6
try
1 | 2
-----
3 | 4
-----
5 | 6
...kinda like reading both sides of a book spine.
- brandur 13y agoNice idea! I naturally worry a bit that the reader's eye will have a hard time tracking which segment it should be looking at next (say they accidentally jump from 1 --> 3 for example). But like you said, if you used the horizontal rule between say 1/2 and 3/4, and just had whitespace between 1/2, it might be distinctive enough for a fluid reading. Thanks for the tip. I'll draw up a prototype.
