[XeTeX] parallel lines for multiple text versions

[Andy Lin]

For linguistics, there's also linguex, but since that doesn't support
3-line glosses by default (I think I hacked it back in for a project I
was doing), I didn't mention it. But the main feature of linguex is
that it doesn't require you to explicitly begin and end an example
environment.
