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?

This requires an extension in the XSL-FO processor.  In Antenna 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
