I want to create an XSL-template to render a dynamicaly created 2 column pricelist. The items should flow from the bottom of the first column to the top of the second columns (like text flows in a newspaper)

Up to now I don't have any idea how I could do that...

system environment: Stylevision Enterprise V. 2013, XSLT 1.0, fop 0.95

Thanks in advance

I'm not sure in which version this has been introduced, but you can split your page into free flow columns under Page Layout properties accessible from Edit Properties under Initial Document Section.

See BoooksInColumns sample which comes with StyleVision.

P.S. this feature works for RTF/PDF/Word output
