Thank you so much, Bob. That's exactly what I was looking for.
In going back to my original output, you were right about the index. I was just seeing my other appendixes being indented awkwardly.

Hi David,
You will need to customize the template named
'set.flow.properties' from fo/pagesetup.xsl. There is an xsl:choose
statement in there that decides how to add that property to the fo:flow of each
page-sequence. You can modify it to handle the elements or pageclasses you
want to control. You'll notice that pageclass="index" is omitted, so you
should not be getting indents in the index already.

Subject: [docbook-apps] body.start.indent with mixed one and two
column layout
Hi,
I'm
using the column.count.back property to change the layout for the index,
glossary, etc for our manual to 2 columns. The problem is, this is inheriting
the indent (body.start.indent, I assume) from the rest of the document. This
creates a weird look where the back matter columns are intented. I know I can
just do body.start.intent=0 to fix that, but I want to keep the indent
elsewhere. I'm not sure what sure what template and/or parameters to customize
so that body.start.indent=0 only if the current section is 2 columns, otherwise
it is 4pc.
Regards,
David
