BIRT: HTML text split into two columns

I want to add a multiple page text to a report that is stored in the database as an HTML clob. I would like to split this text into two columns like this:

[part 1] [part 2]
[page break]
[part 3] [part 4]
[page break]
[part 5] ...

When I use a Dynamic Text item the HTML is rendered fine. But I cannot get it to split into two columns. I've tried making it small enough by setting the width property, adding it to the Detail area of a List item and setting the display property of the List and the Dynamic Text to all possible combinations of Block and Inline.

Is this even possible with BIRT?

Many thanks in advance. Carsten

No, BIRT doesn't support a newspaper-like layout style.
