[docbook-apps] Column problems

Title: [docbook-apps] Column problems

1st. problem

----------------

I have an a very simple document (a single article) structured as:

<article>

   <section>

      <para>

         etc

      </para>

      etc - more paras

   </section>

   <section>

      <para>

         etc

      </para>

      etc - more paras

   </section>

   <section>

      <para>

         etc

      </para>

      etc - more paras

   </section>

   <bibliography id="LL_bib" lang="EN" ><title>Bibliography</title>

       <biblioentry id="QWERTY">

          etc

        </biblioentry>

        etc - more biblioentrys

    </bibliography>

</article>

In my customization layer I have:

<xsl:param name="column.count.titlepage" select="1" />
<xsl:param name="column.count.lot" select="1" />
<xsl:param name="column.count.body" select="2" />
<xsl:param name="column.count.back" select="1" />

I was hoping to have a title page and a bibliography in 1 column and the sections in 2 columns.  FO output:  XEP 4.9, DTD 4.5, XSL 1.71.1 (change log 2005-09-09), Saxon 6.5.5, Oxygen 8.2, MacOSX 10.3.9

However the page class "body" includes "article" and everything comes out in 2 columns.

How can I get a 1 column title page (page class "titlepage") and bibliography (page class "back") together with 2 column sections (page class "body") in what I persist in regarding as the body of the article.

2nd. problem

-----------------

In the section I have structures like:

<section>

   <para>

        <blockquote>

              <literallayout><emphasis>

a short line

a long line a long line a long line a long line a long line a long line

a short line

              </emphasis></literallayout>

        </blockquote>

   </para>

</section>

Some of the lines in the literallayout are too long and overlap into the second column.  I realize that literallayout is doing exactly what I asked it to do, but is there any way for literallayout to automatically line-wrap at the column width?

I'd very much appreciate any help.
