Hello, Brian.
If you want to create page-wide table which spans multi-column page
you just need to set width of the table to "100%" and place this table
inside of the fo:block with span="all" attribute. Not that such a
block must be a direct descendant of fo:flow. If it's the first child
of the flow it will be placed at the top of the first page. However
it's not possible to place this table at arbitrary point of the flow
and make float to the top of the page - there is no such means in XSL FO.
As for recommended reading on XSL FO - we have an XSL FO tutorial
(look here http://xep.xattic.com/xep/doc/doc.html), and a number of
samples (here http://xep.xattic.com/xep/testsuite/testsuite.html).
Note that our tutorial (tutorial.pdf) and some basic samples are
included in XEP distribution.
There are several invaluable XSL FO resources listed at our links page
at http://xep.xattic.com/xep/links/ref.html
They are worth exploring.
Best regards,
