Re: [docbook-apps] mediaobject that will display as a block

Yes, I was thinking the same thing.  I think caption needs its own 
attribute-set so customizing its behavior can be done without customizing the 
template.  I would include keep-with-previous, but I think keep-together 
might be overly intrusive for long captions.  But with an attribute-set, 
changing it would be easy.

Bob,

  
It seems to me that this change should be made to the standard DocBook 
  XSL sheet? 

  
 

  
I cannot think of a situation where you would not want captions 
  stuck to mediaobjects on the same page. Maybe if the caption was a paragraph 
  long? Maybe it would be too constrictive?

Hi Paul,

    
The formal.object.properties attribute-set is 
    applied to formal objects, which are numbered and titled elements 
    including figures, tables, examples, and equations.  It is not 
    applied to mediaobject with caption.

    
 

    
I think the easiest way to do this would be to 
    customize the template that matches on caption.  It is a very short 
    template, found in fo/graphics.xsl.  I changed it to add two keep 
    properties to the fo:block:

    
 

    
<xsl:template match="caption">
  
    <fo:block keep-with-previous.within-column="always" 
    keep-together.within-column="always">
    <xsl:if 
    test="@align = 'right' or @align = 'left' or 
    @align='center'">
      <xsl:attribute 
    name="text-align"><xsl:value-of
                         
    select="@align"/></xsl:attribute>
    
    </xsl:if>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  
    </fo:block>
</xsl:template>

    
It seems to work in FOP.

      that will display as a block

      

I'm hoping to keep a <mediaobject> and 
      <title/caption> on the same page in the FO output to pdf. 
      
Using Oxygenxml v13 with Saxon6.5.5 with Apache FOP.

      
Have tried <mediaobject> and <informalobject> without 
      success as some of the <title/caption> flows to the next 
      page. 

      
How can I avoid this?

      
I have 

      

      

      
<mediaobject>

      
   <imageobject>

      
     <imagedata/>

      
     <title/caption/>
  
       </imageobject> 
      
</mediaobject>

      

      
that I want to keep together on the same page when transformed to 
      pdf.

      
Simply what I getting at the end of a pdf is the following:

      
<imagedata/>

      
page-break

      
<caption/>

      
and I want to avoid the break in between.

      

      
I have also added the formal.object.properties parameter to the 
      list in Oxygenxml, as it was not listed - to no avail.

      
With thanks

      
Paul
