I'm using fop 0.20.5 also.
 
> How are you using the formalpara in your document?

here is an example :

      <figure id="enhancer-survey-strategy2">
	<title>
	  Strategy to detect enhancer conservation
	</title>
	
	<mediaobject>
	  <imageobject>
	    <imagedata fileref="figures/enhancer-survey-strategy2.jpg" format="JPG"/>
	  </imageobject>

	  <textobject>
	    <phrase>figures/enhancer-survey-strategy2</phrase>
	  </textobject>
	  
	  <caption>
	    <formalpara>
	      <title>
		Strategy to detect enhancer conservation
	      </title>
	      
	      <para>
		(...)
	      </para>
	    </formalpara>
	  </caption>
	</mediaobject>
      </figure>

BTW, Is there a way to say to fo that the figure and the caption must
be on the same page?

I knew it wasn't good, but as it took ages for amazon to send me your
book, I only had finished the "parameters" section when my supervisor
complained loudly that the titles were too big! So I reduced the
general size, and increased the font size in paragraphs.

Have a nice day,
