[xep-support] index column markers?

[Alex Peshkov]

Hello, Bob.

You can use technic demonstrated here:
http://xep.xattic.com/xep/testsuite/usecasestest.html#table-header.xml
With nested tables and XEP 3.7 it is easy to achieve desired effect. I
have tweaked stylesheet mentioned above to demonstrate my point,
please find it and sample source XML attached together with resulting
FO and PDF. For the sake of completes I have also attached generic.xsl
used by our FO usecases (source stylesheet depends on it and I was too
lazy to rewrite the whole stuff :-)

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Alexander Peshkov                             mailto:peshkov at renderx.com

BS>   formatting
BS>     access to utilities
BS>     caching drive info

BS> [column break]

BS> hard drive (continued)       [top of next column]
BS>   formatting (continued)
BS>     fast format
BS>     slow format
