Thanks!  Very useful for the short-term tasks.

I had forgotten the "!" function of the 3.15.2-Strings section of the
manual.  And I did not know the "!latex" function (I see it now in
"latex.scm").

With time...

For HTML, I suppose that I would have to use CSS3 [*].

For (Tex)Info and Lout I do not find in their manuals a way to to easily
set multiple-columns pieces of text.  Maybe by using tables, as the
Javascript in http://rebelion.org [2].

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/CSS/Using_multi-column_layouts

[2] The "columnas()" function in http://www.rebelion.org/varios/scripts.js
    used e.g. in http://rebelion.org/noticia.php?id=189924
    by the "Partir el texto en columnas" icon.
