Re: [docbook-apps] page-wide figures in a two-column layout

[Xmplar <info@xmplar.biz>]

My setup uses the latest DB5 stylesheets and I have RenderX XEP running from <oXygen/> - though I'm not sure if FOP can handle floats. But this markup works for a two-column layout:

<figure xml:id="fig2.2" pgwide="1" floatstyle="before">
      <title>Title of the figure goes here</title>
      <mediaobject>
        <textobject>
          <phrase>Alternate text for image is here...</phrase>
        </textobject>
        <imageobject role="pdf">
          <imagedata fileref="images/Figure2-2.png" width="70%" align="center" format="PNG" />
        </imageobject>
        <imageobject role="epub">
          <imagedata fileref="images/Figure2-2.gif" align="center" format="GIF" />
        </imageobject>
        <imageobject role="web">
          <imagedata fileref="images/Figure2-2.png" align="center" format="PNG" width="100%"
            contentwidth="70%" />
        </imageobject>
      </mediaobject>
    </figure>

You might need to also float the formal objects using a float value of
"before". That should put the tables and figures onto a following page
and span columns.

Thanks for the suggestion. However, DB 5 doesn't appear to have such an
attribute.
