Hi Dave,
I'm not understanding your example. This looks like an implementation
of dropcap using a side float for the first letter of the para. There
is no such dropcap implemented in the stock DocBook XSL, so that must
be coming from a customization layer.
A float is used when you want the dropcap to cover more than one line
of the paragraph. If you don't use a float, the the second line of
text will overwrite the big letter. The float forces the next line to
give it space.
<sigh/>
Thanks for the reminder Bob.
I have a pre-processing step that does this.
Sorry for wasting bandwidth folks.
regards
