[xep-support] fo:float alignment

[Alexander Peshkov]

Hello Steve,

If you provide you float with positive margin-bottom of the same size
as the negative margin-top, float overlapping would not create such
an annoying effect.

Best regards,

FS> Hello Steve,

FS> This is because float is aligned with respect to its anchor and
FS> in the current version of XEP floats anchor corresponds to the
FS> baseline of the text. The only workaround I can think of is to use
FS> negative margin/padding in your float, but it's applicable only if
FS> you have free space above it (i.e. if it's a marginalia).

FS>> Hi,
