<p><font size="-1"><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">I've
been updating the DocBook XSL stylesheets to map the valign
attribute values for DocBook's inlinemediaobject elements to
the correct alignment-baseline property values in XSL-FO. The
value of "top" should map to alignment-baseline="before-edge"
and "bottom" should map to alignment-baseline="after-edge".
These settings work in FOP 2.1 and in Antenna House Formatter,
but not in XEP. When I test with samples similar to the XSL
1.1 specification examples, I find the inline images overwrite
the text lines below with XEP.</font></font></p>
<p><font size="-1"><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">I
created my test samples for inline images from the
illustration on page 293 of the PDF version of the XSL 1.1
spec at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xsl11-20061205/xsl11.pdf">https://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xsl11-20061205/xsl11.pdf</a>. I
then processed it with the updated stylesheets and tested the
results in the three FO processors.<br>

<p><font size="-1"><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">The
attached PDF is assembled from pages extracted from three
separate PDF outputs: FOP, AH, and XEP. You can see the FOP
and AH output is similar to the specification's illustration,
but the third page with the XEP output overwrites the lines
below with the inline images.</font></font></p>

be happy to supply my .fo file and images if you want to test
this yourself.</font></font><br>
