ltmarks doc should not claim multicol support implemented
Brief outline of the bug
ltmarks-doc.pdf
page 9 includes the following in the description of \__mark_get_marks_for_reinsertion:nNN
:
This is, for example, used by
multicol
when a short balancedmulticols
is returned to the galley for typesetting.
But, as far as I can tell, multicol
is incompatible with the new marks code. There are at least two bug reports in which this is stated and the code doesn't obviously use expl3
syntax at all, so definitely doesn't use this particular function.
Minimal example showing the bug
Really not sure what you want for this. A copy of multicol.sty
seems a bit verbose. With apologies to Windows users:
grep '_mark_' $(kpsewhich multicol.sty) 1>&2 2> /tmp/grep.log ; printf %b "exit: $?\n" >> /tmp/grep.log
Log file (required) and possibly PDF file
I was going to upload an empty file, but decided a more verbose version might be more to GitHub's taste.
It would be really helpful if you could avoid documenting future code as extant. Maybe mark it as 'planned'? This is the only mention of multicol
I could find in the doc. In particular, it wasn't at all obvious to me that I should not try this with ltxdoc
and I spent several hours trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. (And it worked so well until \PrintChanges
....)
