Take the tour ×  Not too well up on LaTeX, but I want to use the
listings package for listings spanning a two-column format.
Unfortunately, asterisks cannot save me (like for
figures/tables); this doesn't work:   I've Googled about, but
got no satisfactory answer, and getting a bit desperate. Should
be simple... hope I'm not missing something stupid. Perhaps it's
possible to embed this into a separate spanning float?   (P.S.,
I've posted this on the main stackoverflow site as well...
http://stackoverflow.com/posts/3744232/edit if this is
considered a duplicate, please comment and I'll remove the
other. Getting a bit desperate fighting a deadline.)
