\section*{A page-breakable Kanban board}

% The break option selects the paracol-based layout. Column bodies may continue
% on later pages and are intentionally not forced to a common height. Twelve
% cards carry a background tint in one of four colors. A tint travels with its
% card onto the continuation page.
