Re: [docbook-apps] <informalfigure/> floats?

Floats work for figure, but not informalfigure (that is, if your XSL-FO 
processor supports floats, which FOP does not).  XEP does, include 
inside/outside floats.  But I'm not sure why informalfigure has not been 
implemented in DocBook XSL yet.  You might file a bug report on the DocBook 
SourceForge site about it.
