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

Hi Ray,

I know that this works in HTML:

 

<figure floatstyle="right">

or

<informalfigure 
floatstyle="right">

 

It should also work with example, informalexample, 
table, informaltable.

 

But a sidebar in HTML can still be made to float if 
you use CSS.  The sidebar content is output into a div with 
class="sidebar", so you could make the CSS work using a float: right CSS 
property.

  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. <<

  
 

  
 

  
Attempted sidebar 
  floats with the aforementioned Sidebar example script and a nested 
  informalfigure; rendered correctly in PDF transformations. HTML transformation 
  resulted in a right-justified image and no text to the left. I remain unclear 
  on HTML; no side float works with HTML or only informal objects? If the 
  latter, can’t get my HTML to transform correctly.
