    ã|Description:ã%
If you have  specified \twocolumns or \threecolumns,  single column text can
be formatted again  by entering the \onecolumn  markup.  For  example, if an
author wants  to change from  a single column  to two columns  he enters the
\twocolumns markup  where the two column  text begins and  \onecolumn or \oc
markup where the single column text begins again.
 
    ã|Example:ã%
The \twocolumns  markup places the bullets  in two columns.   And \onecolumn
returns text to a single column.
 
\twocolumns\listbegin
\bul {\it Russia} in Eastern Europe (and in
 
South America and the Caribbean)
\nc
\bul {\it China} in Tibet (and most lately in Southeast
Asia---Campuchea, and Vietnam)

\onecolumn has no effect if you are already in one column.
    If  you  are in  \fixedformat,  \onecolumn  will  do  a \newpage  before
starting one column formatting.
