[xep-support] outside/inside without floats?

[Kevin Brown]

All:

After looking at a sample of what is trying to be accomplished, I believe
the following is what you are trying to achieve:

****************************

caption  picture


caption  picture


****************************

		picture  caption


		picture  caption


****************************


This can be done using two floats:

<fo:block space-after="6pt">
	<fo:float float="inside"><fo:block-container width="2in"
height="3in" background-color="red"><fo:block>I am a
caption</fo:block></fo:block-container></fo:float>

	<fo:float float="inside"><fo:block-container width="2in"
height="3in" background-color="green"><fo:block>I am a
picture</fo:block></fo:block-container></fo:float>
</fo:block>

<fo:block space-after="6pt">
	<fo:float float="inside"><fo:block-container width="2in"
height="3in" background-color="red"><fo:block>I am a
caption</fo:block></fo:block-container></fo:float>

	<fo:float float="inside"><fo:block-container width="2in"
height="3in" background-color="green"><fo:block>I am a
picture</fo:block></fo:block-container></fo:float>
</fo:block>

There is no need to nest floats. The floats will stack together properly as
encountered in the FO to the specified boundary (in this case the "inside"
(left on odd page). Or depending on the book, you can use "outside" (right
on odd page).

Hello Friedrich,

I do not see any way to achieve this in FO (although the requirement is 
perfectly legal). You may try to hack it around in XEPOUT. If your 
pictures and legends are easily recognizable there, it should be quite 
simple to swap pictures with legends on e.g. odd pages with the help of 
XSLT.
