Wait a minute... Are you trying to do layout like in a newspaper? Where
the end of one column at the bottom of the page will "flow" to the top
of the next column? As far as I know (& I consider my knowledge of FOP a
bit above that of a newbie), that isn't supported in FOP. To do
something like newspaper columns you'd have to what you're talking
about: calculate the character or line width/height, create an algorithm
that determines where lines will break, and so on...this might've been
tackled before by someone on the list--I know it's been talked about.
sorry to fall into a conversation...just out of curiousity:
How is the above different from flowing text across pages ? Just imagine
each column to be a (narrow) page, then tile two such boxes
horizontally. What is needed to make two column pages work that is not
yet needed when doing 'ordinary' pages ?
