Multiple "fo:flow" Elements in a Page Sequence

Q:  Can we have multiple fo:flow elements in an fo:page-sequence?
A:  Yes, you can have multiple fo:flow elements in an fo:page-sequence by using "fo:flow-map". 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: How can I use the element fo:flow-map to help me accomplish this? 

A:  Here are some instructions to better demonstrate the usage of "fo:flow-map".  See sample code below:

1)  You can initially assign multiple fo:flow's within the fo:flow-map element.  See below...

<fo:flow-map flow-map-name="flow-map">
<fo:flow-assignment>
<fo:flow-source-list>
<fo:flow-name-specifier flow-name-reference="first-flow-region"/>
</fo:flow-source-list>
<fo:flow-target-list>
<fo:region-name-specifier region-name-reference="first-flow-region"/>
</fo:flow-target-list>
</fo:flow-assignment>
...

2)   Within the fo:page-sequence, you can reference the above "fo:flow-map" and use the flow-name attribute appropriately.  See below...

<fo:page-sequence master-reference="Letter Page" flow-map-reference="flow-map">
<fo:flow flow-name="first-flow-region" font-family="Times" font-size="12pt">
<fo:block>First flow region- First page</fo:block>
<fo:block break-before="page">First flow region - Second page</fo:block>
</fo:flow>
...

Q:  How can I accomplish making these changes in the XF Designer tool?

A:  You can make these modifications in the XML/Text editing view.  To navigate to this view, you can simply click on the "View" tab and reference the "Document Views" group.  Then click on "Text View".
