In that case sorry. I did not double check, just saw that the warning
message was gone.

Please re-open and forward it upstream.

Thanks

Bug#867538: fop: Please implement sidebars floating at the side of the body of the text

Package: fop
Version: 1:1.1.dfsg2-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi.  When trying to figure out how to make sure my docbook sidebars end
up on the side of the text, I tried following the instructions on
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/SideFloats.html > and wrote a
simple example docbook file to test floating sidebars.  This do not work
and I get a message about a missing feature.  Please add support for
sidebars placed at the side of the text body.

When processing my example, I get this message and the sidebar has
disappeared from the resulting PDF:

  % xmlto --with-fop pdf db-sidebar-test.xml
  Making portrait pages on letter paper (215.9mmx279.4mm)
  Font "Symbol,normal,700" not found. Substituting with "Symbol,normal,400".
  Font "ZapfDingbats,normal,700" not found. Substituting with 
"ZapfDingbats,normal,400".
  Rendered page #1.
  Couldn't find hyphenation pattern for lang="en".
  Rendered page #2.
  The following feature isn't implemented by Apache FOP, yet: fo:float (on 
fo:float) (No context info available)
  No LayoutManager maker for class class org.apache.fop.fo.flow.Float
  Rendered page #3.
  Rendered page #4.

This is the example docbook file I use:

Test docbook sidebar
  
  
Sidebar example

  Some text in front of the sidebar.

 
  Sidebar example
  
  A sidebar
  can be used to emphasize certain
  content. It can intrude into
  the body area, or it can
  appear in side indents as 
  a margin note.

Some text following the sidebar.
