Re: [docbook-apps] Inline media object/text overlapping on PDF output

[Stefan Heuer <sh127@gmx.de>]

Hi Claudio,

I think there are some ways to test in the DocBook document:
First you can decrease your image (per docbook attributes or the image
itself).
Second you can increase the line space for this paragraph.
Or you can surround your inline graphic with
<superscript>..</superscript> to rise the vertical middle level.

In XSLFO you can use the "baseline-shift" attribute to rise the
vertical middle level.


Good luck

Stefan
