title: LaTeX: Automatic two-column wrapping of content
body: <p>Say I have a list of words that need to retain their order, and need to be sorted into two columns.</p>
  
  <p>I can do this rather well with a tabular:</p>
  
  <pre><code>\begin{tabular}{l l}
  abc &amp; def \\
  ghi &amp; jkl \\
  \end{tabular}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But doing so makes it rather difficult and time consuming to reorder the list.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to have an automatically wrapped two-column list?
  Ideally, I would like to simply enter an ordered list:</p>
  
  <pre><code>\begin{magic}
  abc \\
  def \\
  ghi \\
  jkl \\
  \end{magic}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And have it wrapped to two columns (as the tabular enables):</p>
  
  <pre>
  abc  def
  ghi  jkl
  </pre>
