There are a couple similar questions in the archives, but no answers. Here is what I want to do: ------------ [text] [text] [text] ------------- where each individual block of [text] is in 2 columns, wrapped independently from the previous and next blocks. The 'column-count' attribute applies only to <fo:region-body> and I want to do this multiple times per page, so that doesn't appear to be an option. Is it possible to put [text] into a 2 column <fo:table> and have it wrap the blocks from the first column to the second and automatically adjust the table height? Or is there some other way to do this? It seems that XSL-FO would have been much more powerful if 'column-count' could have applied to <fo:block>. -Stephen fo:block takes a span property (7.20.4) so I _think_ that if you make a "heading" block (which might be empty) in between each of your text blocks which spans both columns, then you should get the right effect... (untested on any implementation) ie you put this in an flow that's using two columns: <fo:block span="all">block 1</fo:block> <fo:block span="none">[text]</fo:block> <fo:block span="all">block 2</fo:block> <fo:block span="none">[text]</fo:block> <fo:block span="all">block 3</fo:block> <fo:block span="none">[text]</fo:block> David ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star.
