Subject: [PATCH 0/5] Layout tweaks for 2c layout

Hi Paul,

This is *not* a bibliography update.

Because of wide textwidth for two-column layout, the cover page, legal
section, and TOC, which are one column, looks too wide.

Patch 1 adds an explicit line break before "What" in the title. Another
candidate might be before "And, If So,", but I think this looks better.

Patch 2 narrows effective textwidth of legal section and TOC as the same as
that of one-column layout by using "changepage" package.

Patches 3 and 4 can be regarded as a workaround of build error in 2c layout
when "inlinelinks" is enabled. By using one-column layout for bibliography,
the issue can be avoided. Also, wider column width permits freedom in
typesetting of "alpha" style bibliography. The effective textwidth for
bibliography is a little wider than the one-column one considering indent
of entries. You might want to skip patch 4 which enables inlinelinks, but
as far as I could test by choosing varieties of monospace fonts, there was
no build error caused by hyperlinks in bibliography.

Patch 5 tweaks parameters for placement for floating objects. In two-column
layout, when a not so tall figure occupies a column, it looks imbalanced
if the neighboring column is flushed from top to bottom. By increasing
"floatpagefraction", such placements can be prevented.

Please give it a try and let me know what you think.

                                            Thanks, Akira
