如何在 (Lua)LaTeX 中並行手動排版文字？

Question

我想使用 LuaLaTeX 在對開頁上並行排版雙語文字。自動化此任務的現有解決方案已被證明不能令人滿意，因為它們不允許腳註（並行），不允許兩個並行文字的不同字體大小（埃勒德帕爾），或通常提供對齊文字區塊（eledpar）的較差結果。

由於文字不太長，我真的開始考慮自己分頁了。為此，我必須解決以下問題：

考慮兩個對開頁的結尾段落長度不同。隨後的段落應從相同的垂直位置開始，以便這些後續段落的開頭彼此相對。為了實現這一點，有

1. 確定較長段落末尾在其頁面上的位置
2. 有辦法讓接下來的平行段落都從指定的位置開始。

這是可行的事嗎？ (Lua)LaTeX 是否提供了確定頁面上的位置並在頁面上的特定位置開始排版的機制？

編輯： 以下範例說明了該任務。這裡，以“O tempora，o mores”（代碼中的第三個文本塊）開頭的拉丁文段落應該從“Shame on the Age...”（第五個文本塊）段落開頭的面對位置開始。

我知道這是一個老問題，已經有一段時間沒有看到任何活動了。這個主題很貼近我的心，因為我在大學學習期間使用過許多拉丁文文本。

身為哲學家和歷史學家，我經常使用古代文本的翻譯，我總是想知道如何排版它們。我只能想像，如果使用常規文字處理器，這項任務一定會是一場惡夢。

因為我確信這是人文學科的經典研究部分中許多人面臨的一個主題/問題，所以我想舉一個最小的例子來說明reledmac和reledpar包的奇妙可能性。

\documentclass[a6paper,11pt]{scrbook}

\usepackage{libertine}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage[latin,english]{babel}

\usepackage[series={},nocritical,noend,noeledsec,nofamiliar,noledgroup]{reledmac}
\usepackage{reledpar}

這就是你得到的：

• 段落的正確對齊
• 註腳
• 不同的字體大小沒有問題

這就是它的樣子：
