Thea,
Is there a reason you cannot simply declare a separate page master, one without columns, and switch to it for that last chapter?
Generally, this can be done easily enough by having a separate template to match the last chapter, which calls the special page master. Or even using a conditional in the one template, like so:
This is assuming you're assigning each chapter to its own page sequence. If this is not the case (e.g. if chapters except the last are to be pulled together into a sequence), the problem is harder (though not necessarily much harder).

<xsl:template match="chapter"> <xsl:variable name="layout"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="not(following-sibling::chapter)">nocolumns</xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise>columns</xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:variable> <fo:page-sequence master-name="{$layout}"> .... </fo:page-sequence> </xsl:template>
This is assuming you're assigning each chapter to its own page sequence. If this is not the case (e.g. if chapters except the last are to be pulled together into a sequence), the problem is harder (though not necessarily much harder).

Hi.
I am creating a book compiled of several chapters. All pages of this book have a 2-column layout on both the odd and even pages. The last chapter, however, does not have the 2-column layout but a 'regular' page layout of one column. I have found references to a last-page layout, but what about a set of last page(s)?
Thanks, Thea
