Using the example given here (section 3), I'd like the \autocite command to produce a two-column list of partial citations.
The MWE below does not compile. I get the following error:
LaTeX Error: \begin{description} on input line 81 ended by \end{multicols}.
By removing either the description environment or the multicol environment, it compiles. How can I have it compile using both environments?
