Is there a way to edit with two columns displayed so I’m only editing
and exporting the right hand column?
I’m writing a parody of a poem, and I’d like to have the original in the
left column for reference, to make sure the rhyme scheme, meters, etc.
match, but then I just want to export the right column to html.
Thanks,
-pd

Have you tried ^X3 ? That's split-window-right . It'll go to one column
while it queries you during export, but exports only your current window.

I haven’t tried it, but it sounds perfect. Thanks!

Works beautifully! I don’t know how I overlooked this. I used this all
the time to look at multiple files (usually with 4 windows open) when I
was writing code. In fact, I could really keep the reference in a
separate file for simplicity.
Thanks!
