Re: [docbook-apps] Floating images

Sure. Copied that exact example (worked) and replaced the para element with a mediaobject element copied from elsewhere in the document – where it was showing up correctly, unfloated. The sidebar appeared with its title as before and a blank shaded area that, now I come to think of it, had a size that looked determined by the image.

Hi,

Have you seen this documentation on how floats work 
in the stylesheets:

 

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/SideFloats.html

 

If so, can you provide more details of what you 
tried and how it worked?

How to set about floating images?

  

  
The images are not formal figures; I don't want them numbered or 
  tabulated. 

  

  
I've experimented with using elements informalfigure, informaltable and 
  sidebar as floatable containers, so far without success. 

  

  
Using XEP and DocBook 1.74.0 NS stylesheets
