RE: [docbook-apps] Slide Float for Images and Text
>> 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.
