Hi Barry,
Unfortunately fo:float is not implemented in FOP (see [1]).
I see no workaround if you require exactly that kind of layout.
Anyway, you still can choose either a fo:list or a fo:table to mimic
what you want, if a 2 column contruction give you acceptable result.

Hi
I wondered if anybody could help I am trying to do a drop cap at the
begining of each text and have tried using float but for some reason
this seems to be floating something just not what Im expecting.
<xsl:for-each
select="exsl:node-set($editorschoice)/Events/Event">
<xsl:if test="position() = 1 or
current()/FurtherSubCat = preceding-sibling::Event[1]/FurtherSubCat">
<fo:block>
<fo:float float="start">
<fo:block font-family="ZapfDingbats"
font-size="20pt" line-height="28pt" color="rgb(0,0,0)" margin="5pt"
text-depth="0" border="1px solid red">
✪
</fo:block>
</fo:float><fo:inline
font-family="CaeciliaRomanOsF" font-size="8pt" line-height="9.6pt"
font-weight="bold" color="rgb(0,0,0)"> <xsl:apply-templates
select="current()/Editorial" /></fo:inline>
</fo:block>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
There seems to be a floating area to the left of the text when
processed by fop but its empty.
Thanks
Barry
