Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Re: Different numbers of columns on a single page?
Hi Colin,It is the only way to do it, so it had better be the best way. 8^)Depending on your XSL-FO processor, span may or may not work in all contexts. The XSL-FO spec says a spanned block must be a direct child of fo:flow. But DocBook uses nested fo:block elements for sections to apply section properties. That can be worked around, if you need it.----- Original Message -----From: Colin ShapiroSent: Wednesday, February 28, 2007 10:20 AMSubject: [docbook-apps] Re: Different numbers of columns on a single page?Ah, I just discovered the "span" attribute. So, I can make my entire page three-columns, and then use span="all" on the FO objects that I want to span across these columns.
Can someone just confirm that this is the best way to do what I am after?
Thanks,
Colin

Simple question that may not have a simple answer:
I understand how to set up custom page masters for FO output with different numbers of columns, but what if I want to change the column layout mid-page? Say, for example, that I want half a page to have three columns, and the other half to have one column.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
Colin
