I have divided the region-body in two. I would now like to draw a single line separating the two columns, can this be done ?


Is there any way to write something in the column-gap ? Alternatively, since I am having a block flowing from one column to another could I have the right column block's left border to appear but not the left column block's left border to appear.


You can use static content in a region overlapping
the region-body with the text flow. Use an empty block
or table with absolute positioning and height settings.

Yes, as often the solutions proposed assume absolute positions, I would much prefer to be able to do this sort of thing starting after a number of arbitrary blocks (spanned here). I think that the region-body should not indicate the number of columns, but one or several flow-body (let's say) which could have varying number of columns (1,2,3...). A model superior to what is available today (one can only indicate a fixed number of columns or span them). Would also be nice if this flow-body could then have decoration attributes for the column gap or for the different borders of the columns defined. Just an idea.


BTW please post this kind of questions only to fop-user.

In general, avoid cross posting to both lists.

Ok.
