Is it possible to have multiple columns (two in my case) inside a block in XSL FO?

Question

I would like to style part of my page inside a block, or actually inside a table cell, as a list wrapped in two columns.

item 1    item 4
item 2    item 5
item 3    item 6

I was a little surprised column layout can only be defined on a page master level.

I can work around this in my code with a table, but I am curious if there is an elegant XSL FO way of doing this?

I'm using FOP.

Answer 1

It's not currently possible with FOP.
