Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] making tables float
Your hack solution will have to do for now. In the current 4.2 DocBook DTD, only figure and informalfigure take a float attribute. You could put an informaltable inside a figure, and add a float="left" attribute to the figure element. But then your table would have a 'Figure' label instead of a table label. The XSL stylesheets are supposed to output an fo:float element when the float attribute is nonzero. But there is a bug in the current stylesheets (fixed in CVS) that prevents a float attribute other than '1' being recognized. Also, I hope you aren't using FOP. When I put a figure in <fo:float> in FOP, the whole thing simply disappeared. Coming up in the 4.3 DTD, tables, examples, and other display items will accept a new floatstyle attribute. When the stylesheets are updated for the new DTD, then you will be able to properly specify a float.
