Re: [docbook-apps] Two column layout for programlisting

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

In XSLFO 1.0, the way to do this is to create a two-column page layout in 
the page-master, and then span all elements that are not programlisting. 
The span property is not inherited, so you  have to put it in lots of 
places, and I'm not sure if you can do it with attribute-sets for all 
elements.

But the other problem with spans is that DocBook has many nested blocks, 
and a spanned block should be a direct child of fo:flow.  There are 
workarounds for getting a flatter output.

You don't mention your FO processor.  I know XEP has an extension for 
creating multicolumn output inside a block.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Two column layout for programlisting


Hi,

Did anybody already succeed in generating parts of a Docbook document in
a two column layout while the other part remains one column (for
generating PDF)?

I need to layout programlisting elements in a two column fashion while
the rest remains one column?

I would include Processing Instructions right after the <programlisting>
element (as in Bob's books example about reducing the font size), but I
have absolutely no clue how I would process the <programmlisting>
element.

Can anybody give me some hints?

Thanks,

Torsten.
