\maketitle

\begin{multicols}{3}{

\byline{\sc\Large Geek Designs New \LaTeX{} Package}{Matthew Allen}

The package is basically a redefinition of the \verb+\maketitle+ command.  The model was the New York Times---hopefully I haven't violated any copyright laws.  I also had to redefine the plain pagestyle.  It kept me busy for a few nights after work.  The rest is packages other people have written.      

\begin{window}[2,r,\includegraphics[width=1.0in]{atom.jpg},\centerline{The Atom}] The \verb+multicols+ package allows using multiple columns without starting a new page.  Using floats is not possible in a columns environment, however with the \verb+picinpar+ package, I can set a picture inside a block of text---just like you one you see here.  Isn't \LaTeX{} cool?
And now we're just filling more space, and yet more space.

\headline{\it\huge Another Headline}
This is just an example to fill up some space, but as long as I have your attention, I'll give some newspaper advice.

It's good to use different fonts for each headline.  This particular font was accomplished with the command \verb+\headline{\it\huge Another Headline}+.  The headline in the preceding article was accomplished with the command \verb+\byline{\sc\Large Geek Designs New \LaTeX{} Package}{Matthew Allen}+.

Of course the commands don't look so nice when they're set in column format.  Look at the example file if you have any questions as to how this example was created.

I suppose we could also show how an equation is type set:
\begin{displaymath}
x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}
\end{displaymath}
and there you have it.  \closearticle
