I have a fo:region-body definition with fo:column-count="2". Is it
possible to place a something above each column, similar to how
fo:region-before allows one to place something above each page?
There are no such column properties. Can you not use
fo:region-before, or is that too high on the page?
Even if using the fo:region-before you have *is* too high, you could
lengthen it down the page and shorten the heights of your two
columns, then draw the column headings in the lengthened fo:region-before.
Another way to mimic that would be to use flow maps and two regions
to use as columns, then from one of the static areas use
absolutely-positioned block containers in order to draw the column
headings, but I don't think that gives you anything more than the above.
Those techniques assume you have control and that every page with the
two columns has to be decorated with the same content above the
column. You can tweak that a bit by using markers and retrieving
some variable content into the column heads.
If the column decoration is identical for both columns you could
consider putting your content into a table with a repeating table
header and no grid lines in the table body.
Lots of possibilities ... you don't give enough detail to decide
which might be best.
I hope this helps.
