title: Reportlab. Floating Text with two Columns
body: <p>First of all, I'm new to python, reportlab, xhtml2pdf. 
  I've already done my first pdf files with reportlab, but I ran into the following problem.</p>
  
  <p>I need a large text in two columns.</p>
  
  <p>First I create my canvas, create my story, append my large text as a paragraph to the story, create my Frame and finally add the story to the frame. </p>
  
  <pre><code>c = Canvas("local.pdf")
  storyExample = []
  textExample = (""" This is a very large text Lorem Ipsum ... """)
  storyExample.append(Paragraph(textExample, styleText))
  frameExample = Frame(0, 0, 50, 50,showBoundary=0)
  frameExample.addFromList(storyExample,c)
  c.showPage()
  c.save()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Works like a charm. But I need to show the text in a two column represantation. </p>
  
  <p>Now the text just flows threw my frame like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>|aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa|
  |bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb|
  |cccccccccccccccccccc|
  |dddddddddddddddddddd|
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I need it like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>|aaaaaaaaa  bbbbbbbbbb|
  |aaaaaaaaa  cccccccccc|
  |bbbbbbbbb  cccccccccc|
  |bbbbbbbbb  dddddddddd|
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I hope you understood what I am trying to say.   </p>
