% \item[\ENV{paracol}{\marg{num}\oarg{text}}]\mbox{}\par
% The environment \env{paracol} contains \meta{body} typeset in \meta{num}
% columns in parallel.  The optional \meta{text} is put spanning all columns
% prior to the multi-columned \meta{body}.

% \changes{v1.35-4}{2018/12/31}
% 	{Add description of \cs{belowfootnoteskip}.}

% 

% The environment may start from \emph{any} vertical position in a page,
% i.e., not necessary at the top of a page.  The single-column
% {\em\Uidx\preenv} of the {\em\Uidx\spage} in which \beginparacol{} lies
% are naturally connected to the beginning part of \meta{body} in each
% column, unless the page has footnotes\footnote{

% 

% With \Mgfnote{} layout shown in Section~\ref{sec:ref-scfnote}, the
% footnotes in the single-column contents are merged with those in
% \env{paracol} environment and are put at the bottom of the \spage{}
% together as shown in this page.}
% 

% or bottom floats.  If these kinds of bottom stuff exist, they are
% put above the multi-columned \meta{body}, or the spanning \meta{text}

% 

% if provided, with a vertical skip of \!\textfloatsep! separating them if
% bottom floats exist, or of \!\belowfootnoteskip! described in
% Section~\ref{sec:ref-scfnote} if only footnotes exist.  The
% \emph{deferred} floats which have not yet appeared in the starting page
% and thus will appear in the next or succeeding pages are considered as
% \pwise{} floats given in the environment.
%

% \changes{v1.2-5}{2013/05/11}
% 	{Add an item to show that \string\texttt{paracol} can be enclosed in
%	 a \string\texttt{list}-like environment.}

% 

% The environment can be enclosed in a \env{list}{\em-like environment} such
% as \env{enumerate}, \env{itemize} and \env{description}.  If so, \!\item!s
% in each column are typeset using the parameters of the surrounding
% environment such as \!\leftmargin! and \!\rightmargin!.  For example, the
% following short \env{paracol} environment is included in an \env{itemize}
% for this and other \!\item!s in this page.
% 

% \begin{paracol}{2}
% \item
% This is the first \!\item! in the left column.
% 
% \item
% This is the second \!\item! in the left column followed by a
% \!\switchcolumn!\footnote{
.
% 

% This footnote is to show the footnotes in this page are merged.}.
% \switchcolumn
% 
% \item
% This is the first \!\item! in the right column.
% 
% \item
% This is the second \!\item! in the right column.
% 
% \item
% This is the third and last \!\item! in the right column.
% \end{paracol}
% You are now seeing the switching to/from multi-columned and \env{itemize}d
% texts are naturally connected with the last and this single-columned
% sentences.  You may feel the space between two columns above is too large
% but it simply results from the large total \!\leftmargin!s of the outer
% \env{description} and this \env{itemize}, which make the right column
% shifted right.  A simple remedy for this large space is to make
% \!\columnsep! narrower, for example 0\,pt as shown below.
% 

% \columnsep0pt
% \begin{paracol}{2}
% \item
% This \!\item! is wider than the last \!\item! above because
% \!\columnsep! is 0\,pt.
% \switchcolumn
% 
% \item
% Therefore, this \!\item! is shifted left a little bit to make
% inter-column spece narrower.
% \end{paracol}
% 
% \item
% All \Uidx\lcounter{}s in all columns are initialized to have the values at
% \beginparacol{} on its first occurrence.  On the second and succeeding
% occurrences of \beginparacol, the \lcounter{}s in each column have the
% value at the last \Endparacol, unless they are modified after the
% \Endparacol.  If a counter is modified (or declared by \!\newcounter!)
% after the \Endparacol, the local versions of the counter in all columns
% commonly have the value at \beginparacol.
% 
% \item
% \changes{v1.2-2}{2013/05/11}
% 	{Add a footnote mentioning page-wise footnotes merged with
%	 post-environment staff.}

% 

% The environment may end at \emph{any} vertical position in a page, i.e.,
% the {\em\Uidx\postenv} being the single-column texts and others
% following \Endparacol{} in the {\em\Uidx\lpage} of the environment may not
% start from the top of a page.  If any columns don't have deferred
% \cwise{} floats and the most advanced {\em\Uidx\lcolumn} at
% \Endparacol{} has neither of footnotes\footnote{

% 

% With \Mgfnote{} layout shown in Section~\ref{sec:ref-scfnote}, the
% footnotes in the closing \env{paracol} environment are merged with those
% in \postenv{} and are put at the bottom of the page{} together as shown in
% this page.}
% 

% nor bottom floats, its bottom is naturally connected to the \postenv{}.
% If the \lcolumn{} has these kinds of bottom stuff, they are put above the
% \postenv{}, with a vertical skip of \!\textfloatsep! separating them if
% bottom floats exist.  All deferred \cwise{} floats given in the
% environment are flushed before the \postenv{} appears, possibly creating
% {\em\Uidx\fcolumn{}s} only with floats.  On the other hand, deferred
% \pwise{} floats given in the environment are considered as deferred
% (single-) \cwise{} floats given just after \Endparacol.
% 
% \item
% The values of all \lcounter{}s in the leftmost column are used as the
% initial values of them in the \postenv.
% 
% \item
% The \env{paracol} environment cannot be nested, or you will have an error

% \env{paracol} environment and thus undefined outside the
% environment\footnote{

% 

% Unless you dare to define them.}.
% 

% The command \!\clearpage! is of course usable outside and inside the

% 

% If a \beginparacol{} has the optional \meta{numleft} argument to specify
% the number of leading columns $n_l$ together with the total $n$ given by
% \meta{num}, columns in the environment are laid out across two adjacent
% pages.  In this {\em\Uidx\parapag{}e} typesetting, the first $n_l$ columns
% are placed in the {\em left} page while remaining $n_r=n-n_l$ columns go to
% the next {\em right} page.  The pair of left and right pages is
% considered as comprising a virtual {\em\Uidx\paired} page and thus shares
% a common page number, unless {\em\Uidx\npaired} typesetting is specified
% by the optional `|*|' following the optional \meta{numleft} argument.  In
% the \npaired{} \parapag{}ing, when the leading $n_l$ columns are put in a
% page $p$, the trailing $n_r$ columns are in the page $p+1$.

% \item
% All {\em\Uidx\pwstuff}, i.e., \Preenv{} and \postenv, \pwise{} floats,
% \mctext{} and (\mgfnote{} or non-merged) \Scfnote{}s, are placed only in
% left \parapag{}es leaving corresponding regions in right \parapag{}es
% blank\footnote{

% 

% Someday the author could devise an advanced mechanism to exploit the space
% in right \parapag{}es.}.
% 
% \item
% A \npaired{} left \parapag{}e is not necessary to be even-numbered, though
% the printing tradition requires so if you naturally want to have a
% \parapag{}e pair in a double spread.  The page number given to the first
% left \parapag{}e is simply the number of the page $p_1$ in which
% \beginparacol{} reside, and that for the $k$-th left \parapag{}e is
% $p_1+2(k-1)$\footnote{

% 

% Unless you make some change to \counter{page} counter.}.
% 

% Therefore, to make it sure $p_1$ is even, you might need to have an
% ordinary page of blank, a title, etc., or to let \counter{page} counter have
% an even number by \!\setcounter!, etc., before starting a \env{paracol}

% The command tells the first \sync{}ing \cswitch{} command (i.e.,
% \!\switchcolumn!\oarg{col}|*|) or environment (i.e., \env{column*}, etc.\@)
% following this command that the page must be broken before \sync{}ation
% unless the \sync{}ation point has the space of \meta{len} or more below it
% in the page.  If a \sync{}ation does not have the command after the
% previous \sync{}ation, it is assumed that
% \!\ensurevspace!|{|\!\baselineskip!|}| is given.
% 

% \begin{itemize}
% \item
% This command is to be used when a \sync{}ation point would be placed near
% the bottom of a page $p$ and the space below it is not sufficient for a column
% $c$ to put anything in the page, while another column $c'$ can have a few
% lines in the page.  If this happens, the first line after the \sync{}ation
% should start at the top of the page $p+1$ in the column $c$, while that of
% $c'$ is still in the page $p$, giving you an impression that the
% \sync{}ation fails to align the top of all columns below it.  The fact is,
% however, the \sync{}ation point is properly established near at the bottom
% of the page but the first line of $c$ needs some large space due to, for
% example, the followings.
% 

% \begin{itemize}
% \item
% The line has unusually tall stuff including larger font letters.
% 
% \item
% The line has a footnote reference which is hardly apart from the
% footnote, and thus the line and the footnote go to the next page together.
% 
% \item
% The parameter \!\clubpenalty! is too large (e.g., 10000) to break the
% first and second lines into separate pages.
% 
% \item
% The first line follows a vertical space.
% \end{itemize}
% 
% \item
% This manual itself has some instances of \!\ensurevspace! command in the
% page \pageref{page:bfreude} and \pageref{page:efreude} in which each German
% stanza is enclosed in \env{verse} and then \env{leftcolumn*} environments
% and has \!\ensurevspace!|{2|\!\baselineskip!|}| before the \!\begin!ing of
% the outer \env{leftcolumn*} because the first line of the stanza is
% preceded by a vertical space inserted by \!\begin!|{|\env{verse}|}|.  In
% fact without \!\ensurevspace!, the first two lines of the sixth English
% stanza would be in the page \pageref{page:bfreude}, while corresponding
% German stanza go to the next page \pageref{page:efreude} as a whole, due
% to the difference of the height of footnotes in each column, i.e., German
% ones are taller than English ones to narrow the space for the German
% column.
% 
% \item
% As the author does in the ``An die Freude/To Joy'' example, it is a good
% tactics to have an \!\ensurevspace! with some vertical space larger than the
% default \!\baselineskip! if it is sure that a column has a feature shown
% above regardless of the position of the \sync{}ation point in question,
% because the point goes up or down with revisions of your document and
% using an \!\ensurevspace! for a \sync{}ation far above the page bottom is
% perfectly harmless.  Similarly, if you find a problem in a \sync{}ation
% and add an \!\ensurevspace! to solve it, keeping the command attached is
% recommended even when the \sync{}ation point moves up or down to make the
% command unnecessary.

% \changes{v1.3-2}{2013/09/17}
%	{Add descriptino of the optional argument of \cs{columnratio} for
%	 parallel-paging.}
% 

% The command defines the width of each column by the fraction $r_i$ to
% specify the portion which $i$-th ($i=0$ for the leftmost) column
% occupies.  More specifically, the width $\Midx{\w}_i$ of the $i$-th column
% is defined as follows, where $W$ is \!\textwidth!, $S$ is \!\columnsep!,
% and $n$ is the number of columns given to \beginparacol.
% 

% \begin{eqnarray*}
% W'&=&W-(n-1)S\\
% w_i&=&\cases{
%   r_iW'
%     \vrule height1.5\ht\strutbox depth1.5\dp\strutbox width0pt&$i\leq k$\cr
%   \displaystyle{(1-\sum_{j=0}^k r_j)W'\over n-(k+1)}&$i>k$}
% \end{eqnarray*}
% 

% For a \env{paracol} environment with \parapag{}ing, $n$ is replaced with
% $n_l$ for the columns in left \parapag{}es, while $n$ and $w_i$ are
% replaced with $n_r$ and $w_{n_r+i}$ for those in right \parapag{}es.
% Moreover, if the optional argument having $r'_0,r'_1,\cdots,r'_{k'}$ is
% provided, $w_{n_r+i}$ for a column in right \parapag{}es is determined
% by $r'_i$ and $k'$ instead of $r_i$ and $k$.
% 

% \begin{itemize}
% \item
% The equations above imply that $k<n-1$, $r_i>0$ and $\sum_{j=0}^k
% r_j<1$.  If $k\geq n-1$, $k$ is assumed to be $n-2$ and all $r_i$ such
% that $i\geq n-1$ are ignored.  If $r_i$ or its sum does not satisfy the
% conditions, you will have an ugly result with ``Overfull'' messages.
% 
% \item
% The argument $r_0,r_1,\cdots,r_k$ can be empty to mean $k=-1$ to let all
% column widths be $W'/n$ as default.
% 
% \item
% The setting of column width by the command takes effect in the |paracol|
% environments following the command\footnote{

% 

% If the command is in a \texttt{paracol} environment, the command does not
% affect the column widths of the environment but does the next ones, though
% such usage is very unusual.}.
% 

% Therefore, though placing the command in the preamble is the most natural
% way\footnote{

% 

% Or second most to not using it at all, of course.},

% The command defines the width of each column and that of each {\em gap}
% between two columns by the column/gap specification $s_i$ for the $i$-th
% column and the gap between it and the $(i{+}1)$-th column.  More
% specifically, $s_i$ has the form of $\hat w_i$ or $\hat w_i\,|/|\,\hat g_i$
% where each of $\hat w_i$ and $\hat g_i$ is a proper glue including a
% proper dimension, or an empty string to mean $\hat w_i=\!\fill!$ and $\hat
% g_i=\!\columnsep!$, to determine the width of $i$-th column $\w_i$ and that
% of $i$-th gap $\Midx{\gap}_i$ as follows, where $\mathit{nat}(x)$ is the
% natural width of the glue $x$, $\mathit{str}(x)$ is the infinite stretch
% factor of $x$, $W$ is \!\textwidth!, and $n$ is the number of columns
% given to \beginparacol.
% 

% \begin{eqnarray*}
% W'&=&\sum_{i=0}^{n-2}\big(\mathit{nat}(\hat w_i)+\mathit{nat}(\hat g_i)\big)+
%      \mathit{nat}(\hat w_{n-1})\\
% F&=&\sum_{i=0}^{n-2}\big(\mathit{str}(\hat g_i)+\mathit{str}(\hat g_i)\big)+
%      \mathit{str}(\hat w_{n-1})\\
% x_i&=&\cases{(W/W')\mathit{nat}(\hat x_i)&$W'\geq W\;\lor\;F\leq0$\cr

%     \qquad(x\in\{w,g\})
% \end{eqnarray*}
% That is, if the total of natural widths $W'$ is larger than \!\textwidth!
% $W$ or there are no infinite stretch factors in the specification, given
% widths are scaled down or up so that the scaled total is equal to $W$.
% Otherwise, each width with an infinite stretch factor is extended
% according to its ratio in the total stretch so that the stretched total is
% equal to $W$.
% 
% For a \env{paracol} environment with \parapag{}ing, $n$ is replaced with
% $n_l$ for the columns in left \parapag{}es, while $n$, $w_i$ and $g_i$ are
% replaced with $n_r$, $w_{n_r+i}$ and $g_{n_r+i}$ for those in right
% \parapag{}es.  Moreover, if the optional argument having
% $s'_0,s'_1,\cdots,s'_{k'}$ is provided, $w_{n_r+i}$ and $g_{n_r+i}$ for a
% column in right \parapag{}es are determined by $s'_i$ instead of $s_i$.
% 

% \begin{itemize}
% \item
% In \env{paracol} environments having $n$ columns, $s_i$ s.t.\ $i\geq n$
% and $\hat g_{n-1}$ are ignored.  On the other hand if $k<n-1$, it is
% assumed $s_i$ is an empty string for all $i>k$.
% 
% \item
% Finite stretch factors and finite or infinite shrink factors in $\hat w_i$
% and $\hat g_i$ are ignored.
% 
% \item
% Unlike \TeX's genuine glue addition, all infinite unit |fil|, |fill| and
% |filll| are not distinguished in the summation for $F$.  Also unlike
% \TeX's genuine scaling of a glue primitive, 
% $f\!\fill!$ means $0\,|pt|\ |plus|\ f\,|fill|$ for convenience\footnote{

% 

% In \TeX's grammar, $f\!\fill!$ means a dimension rather than a glue and is
% $0\,|pt|$ because the natural component of \!\fill! is 0.}.
% 
% \item
% The division $W/W'$ and $\mathit{str}(\hat x_i)/F$ can have some
% arithmetic errors and thus the total of $w_i$ and $g_i$ may not be equal to
% $W$ exactly but can be a little bit less than $W$.  This small error is,
% however, equally distributed to $g_i$ in typesetting of a page to make the
% total width of columns and gaps is exactly $W$\footnote{

% optional argument, or all of the following four features as a whole

% 
% \item[|c|\rm(\textit{olumn})]

% columns are always \emph{inside} while narrower ones are \emph{outside}.
% 
% \item[|m|\rm(\textit{arginal text})]
% to place marginal notes in the side margin opposite to that specified by
% the command \!\marginparthreshold! discussed shortly.
% 
% \item[|b|\rm(\textit{ackground painting})]
% to make \bgpaint, shown in Section~\ref{sec:ref-bgpaint},

% \end{description}
% 

% \begin{itemize}
% \item
% The feature |p| is also enabled by the |twoside| option of
% \!\documentclass! with almost all classes including |article|, |book|,
% |report|, etc.  Though it is strongly recommended to make both settings by
% \!\documentclass! and this command consistent, they can be inconsistent
% resulting in lack of some expected functions.  For example, enabling |p|

% 
% \item
% In ordinary single-column typesetting, marginal note swapping in
% even-numbered pages is enabled by the |twoside| option, while it never takes

% 

% The command specifies the minimum ordinal $k$ of columns whose marginal
% notes are placed in right margin.  That is, marginal notes given in a
% column-$i$ go to left margin if $i<k$, while they go to right if $i\geq
% k$.  The optional argument $k'$, if given, is for columns in right
% \parapag{}es to decide the margin where their marginal notes are placed.
% In default, $k=1$ is assumed to let marginal notes from the leftmost
% column-0 go to left margin while those from other columns go to right.
% 

% \begin{itemize}
% \item
% You may specify $k=0$ to let all marginal notes go to right margin, or may
% give the command a large number, say 100, to place all of them in left
% margin.
% 
% \item
% The setting $k=0$ or $k=100$ above makes a side margin \emph{shared} by
% marginal notes from different columns, and sharing is inevitable when a
% (parallel-) page has three or more columns.  When a margin is shared by
% marginal notes from two or more columns, it can happen that two marginal
% notes from different columns conflict over the space to be occupied by each
% of them.  This conflict is solved by \Paracol{} to push down the note
% given later in your source |.tex| until an available space for it is
% found.  Note that the marginal note to be pushed down is determined by the
% position in the source rather than that in the printed result.  Also note
% that \Paracol{} exploits space between two marginal notes having been
% already placed in the placement of other note coming later to place it at
% the natural position if possible or to minimize the amount of pushing down
% otherwise.
% 
% \item
% In the decision of the real margin in which a marginal note is placed,
% other two factors are involved;  |m| feature of \!\twosided! command and
% the parity of the page; and \LaTeX's genuine command \!\reversemarginpar!.
% More specifically, after the first preliminary decision is made according
% to the threshold given to \!\marginparthreshold!, we have the following
% two steps to modify the decision;  if |m| feature has been specified in
% \!\twosided! command and the marginal note belongs to an even-numbered
% page, the decision is reversed to have the second preliminary result;  and
% then if \!\reversemarginpar! has been specified, the second result is
% reversed (again) to have the final result.
% 
% \item
% In old versions of \Paracol, namely older than 1.3, marginal note
% placement was not only uncontrollable but also gave ugly results when your
% document has three or more columns because the marginal notes from a column
% not being leftmost or rightmost were placed in the gap following the
% column rather than a margin.  This miserable {\em gap note} placement does
% not happen any more, or in other words this is no more available because
% the author believes nobody loves it.

% You may use the package \textsf{marginnote} and its command \!\marginnote!
% in \env{paracol} environments as a replacement of \!\marginpar!.  However,
% the command is \emph{emulated} with \!\marginpar! and \textsf{paracol}'s

% 

% The command \!\globalcounter!\marg{ctr} declares that the counter
% \meta{ctr} is global to all columns, while \!\globalcounter!|*| does so
% for all counters.  An update of a \Uidx\gcounter{} in a column is seen by
% any other columns.
% 

% \begin{itemize}
% \item
% All column-local values of a descendant \lcounter{} of a \gcounter{} are
% zero-cleared when the \gcounter{} is explicitly stepped by \!\stepcounter!
% or \!\refstepcounter!, or implicitly by a sectioning command and so on.
% 
% \item
% The counter \counter{page} is always global but an explicit update of it
% by e.g., \!\setcounter! in a non-leftmost column is not seen by other
% columns and is canceled even for the column itself after a \cswitch{} or a
% page break in the column.  Therefore, if you want to make a \emph{jump} of
% \counter{page}, it must be done in the leftmost column 0.  Note that a
% jump from a page $p$ to $q$ can be seen in other columns even if they have
% gone beyond $p$ \emph{before} the column 0 makes the jump, as far as
% \counter{page} having $q$ (or its successor) is referred to by \!\pageref!
% or through \emph{contents} files such as |.toc|\footnote{

% 

% Direct reference to \counter{page} may give an inconsistent result, as you
% might have in ordinary \LaTeX{} documents.}.
% 
% \item
% All counters except for \counter{page} are local by default.  This feature
% may cause a problem with some packages including \textsf{marginnote} and
% \textsf{(auto-)pst-pdf} having their own counters which must be global.
% Since it is tough to find the name of such counters from package sources,

%	{Rename the sub-sectoin title from ``Commands for Text Coloring'' to
%	 ``Commands for Coloring Texts and Column-Separating Rules'' to
%	 add description of the rule coloring together with the rule
%	 drawing itself.}

% \changes{v1.2-1}{2013/05/11}
%	{Add description of \cs{columncolor} and \cs{normlcolumncolor}.}

% 

% The command \!\columncolor! declares that the \emph{default color} of a
% column is \meta{color} or what it specifies by the combination with the
% optional \meta{mode}.  The command \!\normalcolumncolor! declares the
% default color is what \!\normalcolor! specifies, i.e., black usually.  The
% target column of these commands is that in which the commands reside, or
% \meta{col} if it specified.
% 

% \begin{itemize}
% \item
% The command may be outside of \env{paracol} environment.  If so and
% \meta{col} is not provided, the target column is the leftmost 0.
% 
% \item
% The default color declaration is \emph{global}.  Therefore, even if the
% command appears in a \env{paracol} environment (and even in some grouping
% structure in it), the declaration will be kept effective after
% \Endparacol{} to determine the default color of the specified column in
% succeeding \env{paracol} environments.
% 
% \item
% To give a color to texts (and maybe other stuff) in a column correctly,
% you need to load \textsf{color} package or its relative (e.g.,
% \textsf{xcolor}) which the implementation of coloring in \textsf{paracol}
% relies on.
% 
% \item
% Coloring with \!\color!\oarg{mode}\marg{color} and other coloring commands
% in \env{paracol} environments is of course allowed.  One caution is that
% the \!\color! decides the color for following texts until other
% specification is given or the group surrounding the command is closed.
% Therefore, \!\switchcolumn! does not affect the coloring but a color given
% to the texts in a column is also applied to the texts in the column to be
% switched to.  This irrelativeness of coloring and \cswitch{} is shown in
% the example below.
% 
% \twosided[]\columnratio{0.5}\columnsep0pt
% \tolerance5000\hbadness5000
% \begin{paracol}{2}
% \columncolor{blue}
% This column is colored blue because\\
% \mbox{}\qquad \!\columncolor!|{blue}|\\
% is specfied.  Here we have a \!\switchcolumn!.
% \switchcolumn
% \columncolor{red}
% This column is colored red because\\
% \mbox{}\qquad\!\columncolor!|{red}|\\
% is specified.
% 
% \begin{color}{green}
% Now the color of the right column is changed to green because\\
% \mbox{}\qquad\!\begin!|{color}{green}|\\
% is given prior to this paragraph.  Now we have another \!\switchcolumn! to
% go back to the left.
% \switchcolumn
% The color of this paragraph is green because we are still in the
% environment of green coloring, which we are now closing.\par
% \end{color}%
% 
% Since the coloring environment has been closed, the color of this
% paragraph is the default blue.  Now we have yet another and the last
% \!\switchcolumn! to the right.
% \switchcolumn
% Since this paragraph is outside of the coloring environment, its color is
% the default red.
% \end{paracol}
% 
% \normalcolumncolor[0]\normalcolumncolor[1]
% The default coloring of columns does not affect anything outside of
% \env{paracol} environment of course, and thus this sentence is not
% colored\footnote{

% 

% Or colored black as \cs{normalcolor} specifies.}.

%	{Add description of \cs{coloredwordhyphenated} and
%	 \cs{nocoloredwordhyphenated}.}
% 

% The command \!\coloredwordhyphenated! allows the first word following a
% coloring command such as \!\color! to be hyphenated, but at the same time
% make it possible that a line is broken before the word.  The command
% \!\nocoloredwordhyphenated! acts oppositely and thus line breaking before
% the first word and hyphenating it are inhibited.  By default,
% \!\coloredwordhyphenated! is effective.
% 

% \begin{itemize}
% \item
% The implementation of \textsf{color} package and its relatives makes it
% impossible that \meta{word} is hyphenated when it appears like
% |{|\!\color!|{red}|\meta{word} \ldots|}| or
% \!\textcolor!|{|\meta{word} \ldots|}|.  This inhibition of the hyphenation
% is sometimes annoying especially when the document is multi-columned and
% thus a line is narrow and a column is written in a language having long
% words such as German.  Therefore in \Paracol{} package, a trick is used to
% allow the \meta{word} is hyphenated.  However this trick being insertion
% of a null horizontal space has a side effect that the word can have a line
% break before it.  Though this line break is usually unharmful, in a
% special occasion the break is undesirable and
% in\textcolor{red}{appropriate} by making it possible that the
% \emph{half-colored} word `inappropriate' is broken between `in' and
% `appropriate' without hyphenation.  Therefore, if you find such a
% inappropriate break, use \!\nocoloredwordhyphenated! as follows, for example.

% 

% The command declares that {\em\Uidx\bgpaint} of \meta{region} is performed
% with \meta{color} or what it specifies by the combination of the optional
% \meta{mode}.  The \meta{region} whose \bground{} is painted is one of the
% following.
% 

% \begin{description}
% \item[|c|\rm(\textit{olumn})] for all columns, or particular one if
% \meta{region} is |c|\oarg{col} to specify its ordinal \meta{col}.
% 
% \item[|g|\rm(\textit{ap})] for all gaps between columns, or particular one
% if \meta{region} is |g|\oarg{col} to specify the ordinal \meta{col} of the

% \item[|l|\rm(\textit{eft})] for left margin.
% 
% \item[|r|\rm(\textit{ight})] for right margin.
% \end{description}
% 

% In addition, capitals of the keys above, i.e., |C|, |G|, \ldots, |L|, are
% also legitimate for {\em under painting}.  For example, you may specify to
% paint the \bground{} of a region, say top margin, by two
% \!\backgroundcolor! with |t| and |T| and with different color arranging the
% size of the region of either |t| or |T| (or both of them) by the
% \emph{\bgext} option shown below.
% 
% The optional $|(|x_0|,|y_0|)|$ is to enlarge the region to be painted
% shifting its left-top and right-bottom corner outside by
% the dimension $x_0$ horizontally and $y_0$ vertically, or to shrink it
% with negative dimensions.  This {\em\Uidx\bgext} can be asymmetric giving
% another optional $|(|x_1|,|y_1|)|$ so that it acts on the right-bottom
% corner while let $|(|x_0|,|y_0|)|$ shift only the left-top corner.
% Moreover, you may make each \bgext{} {\em infinite} by giving 10000\,|pt|
% (about 3.5\,m) to $x_0$, $y_0$, $x_1$ and/or $y_1$ so that the
% corresponding region edge is shifted to the paper edge.  Furthermore, this
% {\em\Uidx\bginfext{}} can be terminated at the point $\alpha$ inside the
% corresponding paper edge by giving $10000\,|pt|-\alpha$
% ($\alpha\leq1000\,|pt|$) to an extension parameter $x_0$, etc.
% 

% \begin{itemize}
% \item
% A region whose color is not specified is not painted and thus left blank
% (or kept as painted by \!\pagecolor! if you specify it).
% 
% \item
% Under-painting of columns and gaps by |C| and |G| is made for regions
% different from those over-painting |c| and |g|.  That is, under-painting
% is done ignoring all \pwstuff{} and thus the height of the regions is
% always $\!\textheight!+\!\maxdepth!$.  On the other hand, over-painting is
% only for chunks shrunk or separated by \pwstuff.
% 
% \item
% You may exploit the following painting order, where $x_i$
% is the $i$-th \mctext{} ($x\in\{|s|,|S|\}$) or $i$-th chunk followed by
% the $i$-th \mctext, $m$ and $n$ is the number of \mctext{}s and columns in
% a page respectively, to overlay a preceding region with a succeeding
% region, if your \emph{printer} allows overlaid color painting.
