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.

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? In a message dated 10/05/08 14:05:23 Pacific Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: 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.

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.
