Hi,
While trying to convert some XML + XSL -> HTML into XML+XSL -> XSL
FO's, a problem (which I'd say is very common) came up. I want the
final result to look like :
__________________
This is some text | |
that should come | AN IMAGE |
right here next to | |
the image....... |_________________|
A couple of possibilities of expressing this came to mind :
-------------------------------
<fo:block>
<fo:inline-included-container>
This is some text
</fo:inline-include-container>
<fo:inline-graphic href="..." ... />
</fo:block>
---------------------------------
<fo:table>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell>
This is some text
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:display-graphic href="..." ... />
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table>
----------------------------------
Now the second possibility seems just a bit cumbersome for such a simple
formatting procedure, and the first one kind of "misuses" the
inline-included-container flow object
("inline-included-container...typically containing text blocks with a
different writing-mode")...
Any ideas ?? Have I read the spec poorly, not having noticed an obvious
solution ???
Thanks,
