Thanks. I'm aware that floats won't help me there. That was made clear to me from the outset, though I do wish they would. However, floats seem helpful in some other elements of handling DocBook documents. > All that said, implementing before-floats should be doable in the > current layout engine without too much effort.

I think it would be nice if FOP could get an extension to XSL-FO that would allow it to put "headers" or "footers" on specific pages and specific columns. I do not know if that is a feature generally desirable or not, but I know it would be nice for at least me. :-) On the other hand, I have a working workaround, so I'm not worried about it right now. -- Aaron W.
