I'm trying to create an index for my publication and set it on a 2 column
page, where the rest of the pub is one column. What I'm finding is the
first page of this section is setting as a single page wide column and
follow on pages are setting as 2 column correctly. I don't set any spans
and when I check to bounding boxes in Antenna House it shows blocks
spanning the whole page on the first page and the second page shows two
columns.
So I know my text output and its blocks are correct because they format
properly on subsequent pages, so it seems like it should be in the page
layout information where this is being changed, but I can't see the
problem. Also, if I force a page break before my heading of Index, all the
text formats correctly.
Here are my page layouts:
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="index-2col"
page-height="{$pageHeight}" page-width="{$pageWidth}"
margin-top=".5in"
margin-bottom=".5in"
margin-left=".75in"
margin-right=".75in" >
<fo:region-body margin-top=".5in" margin-bottom=".35in"/>
<fo:region-before extent=".5in" display-align="before" />
<fo:region-after extent=".5in" display-align="after"/>
<fo:region-body column-count="2" column-gap=".5in"
margin-bottom=".35in"/>
</fo:simple-page-master>
<fo:page-sequence-master master-name="index">
<fo:repeatable-page-master-reference
master-reference="index-2col"
/>
</fo:page-sequence-master >
Here is the template that creates the new section and calls in the page
layout and calls templates that set everything but the heading of Index:
<xsl:template match="index">
<xsl:comment>index template processing start </xsl:comment>
<!-- Process the INDEX section of the document -->
<fo:page-sequence
font-family="sans-serif" color="#000000"
text-align="justify" font-size="10pt"

<fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-after" >
<fo:block>
<fo:block >
<fo:leader leader-pattern="rule" leader-length="7in" />
</fo:block>
<fo:table table-layout="fixed">
<fo:table-column column-width="1.75in"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="3.5in"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="1.75in"/>
<fo:table-body>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell>
