barry,

Like a text node, fo:external-graphic has to be set in an fo:float for this.

Hi Pascal

Thanks for getting back to me.

If we can't use float could we use an external-graphic and the text will 
automatically wrap around the image correctly the same as html?

Thanks

Barry

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">

                                &#x272A;

                            </fo:block>

                        </fo:float><fo:inline
font-family="CaeciliaRomanOsF" font-size="8pt" line-height="9.6pt"
font-weight="bold" color="rgb(0,0,0)">&#160;<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
