The general layout of the documents themselves isn't particulary
exciting. There's a lot I'd like to be able to do, especially around
image and table layout (auto-placement of images, and stretching them
across two text columns etc), which doesn't yet seem to be possible in
FOP.
span="all" doesn't work? You would of course have to split the page into
before, body and after regions and place some of the content in the
erstwhile head and footer. Alternatively a trick VH showed me is to
print content twice covering 200% of the available width and use
left/right indent at 0% and -100% alternately. This is how I print
tables across two pages.
<fo:table border-collapse="separate" table-layout="fixed" width="200%"
start-indent="{$leftIndent}%"
end-indent="{$rightIndent}%">
There's an example document here:
