To the best of my knowledge the current Org-mode -> html exporter is vertically serial and has no facilities for side-by-side display. Note that what you describe is likely possible using the existing exporter and writing some custom CSS to control how the serial content is displayed on the page. The "display" css style would be relevant here. Hope this helps, -- Eric Schulte http://cs.unm.edu/~eschulte/
