Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Wrap Text Around Image
Except it doesn't actually work. The expression @float != 0 should be @float != '0'. When I change that, it works, sort of. When I process it with XEP, the text wraps but has no space between it and the float. Do you know the best way to provide a little breathing space? The fo:float element doesn't take many properties. Also, the float doesn't work at all in FOP; the figure disappears entirely.
