Why not do some research yourself before asking stupid questions?

That's what he is doing.
Not effectively, of course, because the people he is asking (us) have no more idea than he has

How to do the research? I don't know what keywordd I am supposed to google. appropriate +colums+wordreturns how to make 2 colum layouts, but what I am asking for is, why some books have 2-column layout and some books/magazines have 3 column layoutMike Truran wrote:Beats the s**t out of me.

Re: pagination
Assuming that you are talking about a chess book, I think you need to decide first how many board diagrams you are going to use and how big they are.
If there are a lot of diagrams then they will probably fit better into a 2 column layout. With a single column, you would have a lot of white space on either side of the diagrams.

The same applies to notation - lists of moves in a game will look much better in 2 columnsClive Blackburn wrote:Assuming that you are talking about a chess book, I think you need to decide first how many board diagrams you are going to use and how big they are.

Re: pagination
I am sure there are numerous reasons, one of the simplest being of what looks best and wastes least space in the selected paper size.soheil_hooshdaran wrote: why some books have 2-column layout and some books/magazines have 3 column layout
Re: pagination
I you know which publication it is intended for, just browse through some back copies and see what their usual format issoheil_hooshdaran wrote:Hi.
