Thanks,
Seems good.
In html, with some CSS tweaking the result is correct.
In pdf (generated by fop 0.20.5, DTD 4.2, XSL stylesheet 1.60.1) I get 2
columns.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
ENG ANTI ICE If icing conditions description text blah blah
.................... description text blah blah description text blah
................. AS blah description text blah blah description text
RQRD blah blah
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I suppose that I need some XSL tweaking here ?
