[xep-support] Outline text over multiple columns

Stefan,

Try this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
  <fo:layout-master-set>
    <fo:simple-page-master master-name="test">
      <fo:region-body margin="20mm" column-count="2"/>
    </fo:simple-page-master>
  </fo:layout-master-set>
  <fo:page-sequence master-reference="test">
    <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
      <fo:block>Put a long text here.</fo:block>
    </fo:flow>
  </fo:page-sequence>
</fo:root>

You may want to add text-align (justify) and hyphenation to it. If you need
to switch between one and two columns in the flow, you have to wait for
XEP's support for the "span" property.
