  • 1.  FO index title formatting

    Posted 02-26-2014 17:08
    Hi,

    I'm using a two-column setup but I want the second column to start below
    the title, in line with the first column. In other words, I want to
    typeset the title in a single column and have a two-column section
    below. As far as I see, the column count can only be set up by region in
    the page master and both the title and the actual index is part of
    region-body. Is there any way to render it in this way?

    Thanks,
    Gabor Kovesdan

    I think what you want is this:
    <xsl:attribute-set name=" component.titlepage.properties ">
    <xsl:attribute name=" span "> all </xsl:attribute>
    </xsl:attribute-set>
    For any sections that are multiple columns, this will put the span all property in the outer fo:block, causing the title to span all columns. I think this is what you want.

    Thank you David, this made it! However, the margins of the fo:block of
    this title line were not respected by FOP. In the end, I set up no
    margins on the title line and inserted an empty line below with the
    desired margins to make the actual index content start a bit more below.
