Re: [docbook-apps] Slide Float for Images and Text

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Hi Ray,

I cut and pasted the example in "Sidebar example" (under "A sidebar as a side float") from my book into a DocBook 5 test file and processed with Saxon 6.5.5, xsl-1.70.1, and XEP 4.6.  The sidebar example worked for me.  I wasn't in Oxygen, and I wasn't using a customization layer, though.  Did you include the processing instruction to designate a left float?

 

Sidebar floats have not been implemented in HTML yet.  In the HTML stylesheet, only formal and informalobjects (figure, informalfigure, etc.)  with a floatstyle="left|right" are implemented.

Unable to successfully implement sidebar floats for nested mediaobject or para elements; have a copy of Bob Stayton’s book; example does not result in an image or text slide float in either HTML or PDF transformations.
