Hi, There is no way to indicate such a feature in DocBook element markup, because that is a formatting issue. However, the DocBook XSL stylesheets support a "keep-together" feature on para using a processing-instruction. So if you are willing to put the figure inside the para with the text of the para, this should work:
<para><?dbfo keep-together="always" ?>Text of the paragraph. <figure> ... </figure> </para. This will wrap the text and the figure in an fo:block with a keep-together.within-column="always" property, which should keep them on the same page.
