You can have only one page-master per physical
page, and you cannot put a page-master in a table cell.
This kind of formatting is not in the XSL-FO 1.0
standard at all, so FOP would need to provide an extension like the other
processors to handle it more easily.

Yikes! That seems rather invasive since I'm using
FOP.
Is there a way to switch from one page master to
another on the same physical page? Or is there only one page page master per
physical page?
Can you have a page master inside a single
cell table?

House, you can use an fo:block-container with the extension attributes
axf:column-count and axf:column-gap. In XEP, you should look into
using an rx:flow-section element with column-count and column-gap
attributes.
If you are using FOP, I think you would have to define the page-master
as two columns, and then on all block content, except the section you want
in two columns, you would have to add a span="all" attribute. Then
only the sections without span="all" will format in two columns.
Kind of a backwards way of doing it, and I'm not sure how hard it
would be to cover all content.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Two column
sections
Hello All,
Does anyone have a way to turn two column flow on for just one
section? My docs are normally one column and every once in a while I would
like to suspend that and turn two column on.
Maybe like
<section role="twocolumn">
or something like that.
Would that require a new pagemaster? I would rather not use this,
because a section could only be half a page.
Regards,
Dean Nelson
