I can get formal and informal figures to float to the top of the page

Formatter. And I can get them to float right and left by wrapping
them in a sidebar, as on page 232. But when I try to float them left
or right on their own, I get an error message, "AHFCmd :WARNING:
Invalid property value: end-indent="0pt + + 0pt". Apparently, the
width does not reach the floater template, and there does not seem to
be a dbfo for figure-width, as there is for sidebars.
The '+ +' is the syntax error. I don't know what should have been in
the middle.
Is it expected that right and left floats should always be wrapped in
a sidebar or margin note, or should it be possible to float objects
independently of a sidebar? Using the Custom Side Float example on p.
236, I think I could add that functionality to formal objects, but I
don't want to reinvent the wheel.
I see that AHF has extensions that allow, for example, floats to the
bottom of the page using axf:float="after", and I can get that to
work by manually editing the fo. For axf:float="left", it even
computes the width from the enclosed imagedata width. I might
undertake adding that
It's likely that the XSLT is generating a 'width' property or similar.
AH Formatter can get the intrinsic width from the image file, but it
won't work out the width specified in your DocBook XML by itself.
to my stylesheet customization as an alternative by customizing the
floater template to recognize additional floatstyles, like axf-after,
for example.
AH Formatter has extensive control over how to float things, including
whether the float has to stay on the same page as its anchor and what to
do when something has to move for them to do so. See
https://www.antenna.co.jp/AHF/help/en/ahf-float.html
My inclination, unsurprisingly, would be to try to use the AH Formatter
features rather than trying to bend sidebars into doing what you want.
