Re: [docbook-apps] body.start.indent with mixed one and two column layout

Thank you so much, Bob. That's exactly what I was looking for.

In going back to my original output, you were right about the index. I was just seeing my other appendixes being indented awkwardly.

Hi David,

You will need to customize the template named 
'set.flow.properties' from fo/pagesetup.xsl.  There is an xsl:choose 
statement in there that decides how to add that property to the fo:flow of each 
page-sequence.  You can modify it to handle the elements or pageclasses you 
want to control.  You'll notice that pageclass="index" is omitted, so you 
should not be getting indents in the index already.

Subject: [docbook-apps] body.start.indent with mixed one and two 
column layout

Hi,

I'm 
using the column.count.back property to change the layout for the index, 
glossary, etc for our manual to 2 columns. The problem is, this is inheriting 
the indent (body.start.indent, I assume) from the rest of the document. This 
creates a weird look where the back matter columns are intented. I know I can 
just do body.start.intent=0 to fix that, but I want to keep the indent 
elsewhere. I'm not sure what sure what template and/or parameters to customize 
so that body.start.indent=0 only if the current section is 2 columns, otherwise 
it is 4pc.

Regards,
David
