This package provides a crude environment called 'vwcol'for typesetting multicolumn paragraph text of various column widths on a single page. For example, \documentclass{article} \usepackage{lipsum} \begin{document} \begin{vwcol}[widths={0.3,0.2,0.5}] \lipsum[1] \end{vwcol} \end{document} Note again that only paragraph text is supported at present.
