Re: [docbook-apps] valign on inlinemediaobject no effect?

Hi Frank,
I think your analysis is correct. They should have different properties for the two 
cases.  Can you please  file a bug report on the DocBook SourceForge site to get this 
fixed?  Thanks.

I'm not quite sure what values to assign for the inline case, though. The valign 
attribute can take "top", "middle", and "bottom", but the relative-align property can 
take on all of these values:

auto | baseline | before-edge | text-before-edge | middle | central | after-edge | 
text-after-edge | ideographic | alphabetic | hanging | mathematical | inherit

which are documented here:

http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/#alignment-baseline

I can see how "middle" might map to "middle", but what about "top" and "bottom"?  Have 
you tried any of these other property values?

Hi there.

I am trying to align some inline graphics nicely with the surrounding text. But, 
setting the attribute valign on the imagedata element has no effect. The image stays 
aligned relative to the text top whatsoever. By looking at the fo output from the 
transformation process, I can see that the attribute valign is reflected to the fo 
attribute "display-align" on the "external-graphic" element. If I change that to 
"alignment-baseline" and set the value to "middle", everything shows up fine. Am I 
missing something? Shouldn't the stylesheet distinguish between valign on 
inlinemediaobjects and mediaobjects and "translate" that attribute to 
"alignment-baseline" on inlinemediaobjects and "display-align" on mediaobjects?
