I am setting a column-count to 2 in my simple-page-master.

I am using xsl-fo to generate the pdf, the text now splits into two columns perfectly.

However, I am now with a new issue caused by this, it also splits the tables into two columns, which I don’t want to, I want to leave the table as it is and only split the text.

Here is the complete fo file:

The column count is set to “2” in layout-master-set.

Could any experts offer some suggestions? Thanks!

    You can let your XSLT stylesheet wrap tables in <fo:block> elements that have span="all" set:

    <fo:block span="all">
  <fo:table width="100%" ...>
  ...
  </fo:table>
<fo:block>

    This will make the table span all the columns of a multi-column region (provided that the <fo:block> is a direct child of <fo:flow>). Reference: http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xsl-20011015/slice7.html#span.
