Text wrapping around a graphic
Hi,
I want to have text that wraps around an image.
e.g.:
xxxxxxxxx|
xxxxxxxxx|
xxxxxxxxx|
xxxxxxxxx|__________
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Is this currently possible with fop?
I believe it would be possible with an fo:float, but from what I understand on the site, this isn't currently implemented.
Thanks,
Will

Hi Will,
Yes an fo:float is needed for that, which as you have seen isn’t
implemented yet.
Unfortunately I don’t know of any workaround to achieve a similar effect
without floats.
Sorry,
Vincent

I guess this feature won't be implemented in the near future :( IMHO it's
very useful.
Anyway thank you for the job done.
