Two-column theme?

[dginev]

It is uncanny how close we get to the the 2-column view in the PDF files for some .cls files by simply by adding:

.ltx_abstract,
.ltx_section,
.ltx_appendix,
.ltx_bibliography {
  columns: 2;
}

To the CSS ruleset. Adding that as a toggle-able theme, orthogonal to the light/dark theme toggle, feels rather reasonable as an experiment.

But every type of content that refuses to reflow, makes this difficult. Cases I've spotted on a quick glance:

• long display equations, and their tags
• certain side-margin notes get stuck between columns
• verbatim code blocks sized for a single-column width
• tables sized for a single-column width

So maybe it is best to defer this until we can auto-reflow nearly everything, and see if there is additional interest / ideas floating around.

The recent 2206.08225 would be a good case study for making such a theme look as enticing as possible.
