I am working with my document class set as [twocolumn]{article} and all is working well however I would like to know if it is possible to use the whole page witdth for text within the document.
I have tried using \centerline and center to try and nudge the text however they only centre to the middle of the column (as expected).
I also cannot use multcols so I am stuck to whatever is possible with twocolumn.
Edit:
\documentclass[twocolumn]{article}
\usepackage[italian]{babel}
\usepackage{cuted}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{varwidth}
\AfterEndEnvironment{strip}{\leavevmode}
% Allow me to use \newpage to swap sides.

stripenvironment, from thecutedpackage (sttoolsbundle). – Bernard Dec 02 '19 at 22:38minipage? – Dec 02 '19 at 22:45minipagesat the end of a page instead of the top. – Dec 02 '19 at 22:47\newpageto swap sides of the page. I'll add my code. – Dec 02 '19 at 22:47stripat the comment position will break the layout however your suggestion does work perfectly at the top of the page. – Dec 02 '19 at 22:51minipageand it works perfectly. Thank you! (I don't know how you feel about writing that out as an answer but I'd be happy to accept it) – Dec 03 '19 at 07:42
