Hello dear Support,
We are using your product “ *XMLmind XSL-FO Converter* “ to convert
XSL:FO document into DOCX format.
Your conformance page
<https://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/_distrib/doc/user/conformance.html>
says that the SPAN attribute is not supported! Do you plan to implement
this one or do you have a workaround to span a text (title for example)
in a document on two columns?
Thanks in advance
XMLmind XSL-FO Converter has very little support for multi-column layouts.
The only thing you can do (aside using the table layout trick, of
course) is something like this:
---
<fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:simple-page-master margin-bottom="1.5cm" margin-left="1.5cm"
margin-right="1.5cm" margin-top="1.5cm"
master-name="all-pages" page-height="29.7cm"
page-width="21cm">
<fo:region-body border-style="solid" border-width="1pt"
column-count="2"
column-gap="1cm" margin-bottom="0.5cm"
margin-top="0.5cm" padding="0.5cm" />
<fo:region-before extent="0.5cm" />
<fo:region-after extent="0.5cm" />
</fo:simple-page-master>
</fo:layout-master-set>

Notice column-count="2" column-gap="1cm" in <fo:region-body>.
If the span attribute is not supported, it's probably because this is
not technically possible given the simplistic way XMLmind XSL-FO
Converter supports multi-column layouts.
We have no plans to support the span attribute. The only thing we can
promise for the next version of the product is reassess if there is a
way to support the span attribute, even if it's in a very limited way,
for very simple needs.
