Friends!
I want to typeset a mcexam (or longtable) in a multicol framework.
Is it possible to break columns more properly, i.e. with some variant of \columnbreak?
The only workaround I found is using a spacing argument, as the \vspace{.1pt} in the following example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[output=exam,randomizequestions=false]{mcexam}
\usepackage{multicol}
\newsavebox\mybox
\begin{document}
\begin{multicols}{2}
\setbox\mybox\vbox{
\makeatletter\col@number@ne
\begin{mcquestions}
\question How much is $2+2$?\par
\begin{mcanswerslist}
\answer two
\answer[correct] four
\answer five
\answer six
\answer seven
\answer eight
\end{mcanswerslist}
\vspace{.1pt}
\question How much is $5-3$?
\begin{mcanswerslist}
\answer 1
\answer[correct] 2
\end{mcanswerslist}
\end{mcquestions}
\unskip
\unpenalty
\unpenalty}
\unvbox\mybox
\end{multicols}
\end{document}
that yields
Without the spacing argument \vspace{.1pt} Tex generates a Hurenkind like this,
which is ugly and confusing: Imagin the last answer of a multiple choice question is on the next page.
My question is a followup to Balancing long table inside multicol in LaTeX, making havy use of David Carlisle's answer.
PS
This is my first question on tex.stackexchange, even if I'm working with TeX and friends since 1990.
