Libre office has two ways of inserting columns.

If a page or frame has columns, then one column is filled, before the next receives any content. In these cases columns have a fixed height, which is equal to the height of the page or frame.

If a paragraph has columns, then the height of the paragraph is such that all the columns are filled evenly with content.

The second way is the way texmacs does columns, using <with|par-columns|2|...>

So the question would be, does texmacs also have page columns? I think it does not. I tried inserting an elastic vertical space but it did not extend the block to the bottom of the page.

It does not create a new colum. Instead the typesetter finds it best to distribute the content evenly among the columns, rather than first fill one, then the other. This can be a PITA but it's designed like that and has its advantages. I don't know of an easy way of changing the behaviour (but I've been known to be very wrong very often ;)

I know that paragraphs support multiple columns via Format -> Paragraphs -> Number of Columns. However, pressing return in this environment does not create a new paragraph in the multcolumn environment. Instead it seems to create a new column. Is this feature intended? How would I make entire pages multicolumn?
