(2C-two-columns &optional BUFFER)

Documentation

Split current window vertically for two-column editing.

When called the first time, associates a buffer with the current buffer in two-column minor mode (use C-h m (describe-mode) once in the mode, for details.). It runs 2C-other-buffer-hook in the new buffer. When called again, restores the screen layout with the current buffer first and the associated buffer to its right.
