DOCBOOK-APPS: imageobject width= broken in XSL for HTML?

[Marc Palmer <marc@anyware.co.uk>]

Hi,

I came across a funny just now. I'm trying to get an image (mediaobject) 
to align right and not be "inline" i.e. text should not start until after it.

To do this I thought I'd use:

<mediaobject>
  <imageobject>
     <imagedata align="right" fileref="mypict.gif" format="GIF" 
width="100%"/>
  </imageobject>
</mediaobject>

Having seen that on www.docbook.org using width= will change the viewport 
size but still display the image at its intrinsic size.

This didn't work – in the HTML output it stretched the image to full page 
width! The HTML it generated included a TABLE to wrap the image with 
WIDTH="100%" but also it put WIDTH="100%" in the IMG tag!

The SVG version of the same image came out fine in PDF (after FOP 
processing the FO) with just width="100%" so I think this is a bug in the 
HTML XSL templates.

To workaround it, you can specify the exact pixel width of the image in 
contentwidth= which is OK, but not ideal.

If there is a better way to achieve what I want, please tell me.

Best wishes,
Marc
