RE: [docbook-apps] A two-column problem

Anything's possible ;)

The trick for this is to set the attibute span="all" on the fo:block
elements that contain the title and the closing remark.  The difficulty with
this is that the element containing this attribute *must* be a direct child
of the fo:flow object.

To do this for the article title, you'll have to copy the template that
matches article from fo/component.xsl and change the lines 

      <fo:block id="{$id}">
        <xsl:call-template name="article.titlepage"/>
      </fo:block>

to

      <fo:block id="{$id}" span="all">
        <xsl:call-template name="article.titlepage"/>
      </fo:block>

I don't know how she plans to tag her "closing remark", but the idea will be
to create a template similar to the following:

      <xsl:template match="section[@role='closing']">
	   <fo:block span="all">
            <xsl:apply-imports/>
         </fo:block>
      </xsl:template>
