Hi Colin,
It is the only way to do it, so it had better be
the best way. 8^)
Depending on your XSL-FO processor, span may or may
not work in all contexts. The XSL-FO spec says a spanned block must be a
direct child of fo:flow. But DocBook uses nested fo:block elements for
sections to apply section properties. That can be worked around, if you
need it.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Re: Different
numbers of columns on a single page?
Ah, I just discovered the "span" attribute. So, I can
make my entire page three-columns, and then use span="all" on the FO objects
that I want to span across these columns.
Can someone just confirm that
this is the best way to do what I am after?
Thanks,
Colin

Hello,
Simple
question that may not have a simple answer:
I understand how to set
up custom page masters for FO output with different numbers of columns, but
what if I want to change the column layout mid-page? Say, for example,
that I want half a page to have three columns, and the other half to have
one column.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
Colin
