Problem with floating text around images

Hia,


I have an interesting question / issue about floating text and images.
As most of you know, it is possible within HTML to have floating
text around images. See html code snipplet below.

<p>this is a test,this is a test,this is a test,this is a test,this is a
test,this is a test,this is a test,this is a test,<img alt=""
src="http://www.foobar.com/images/foo.jpg align="left" border="0"/> this
is a test,this is a test,this is a test,this is a test,this is a
test,this is a test,this is a test,this is a test,</p>

This will show something an image surrounded by text.

My question is how to achieve this within fop. Is this possible with
only one block ? I've managed to get the image in the PDF document, but
can't get the text around it as like within HTML. Next to that, how can
I adjust the empty margins between the image and the text ?

Any suggestion anyone ? 


T.i.a,

Leonard

Hi there,

Has anybody else successful emulating floating text so far?
Is it possible to tell a cell that it's content should overflow to another 
cell? - this way it could be easy to emulate floating behaviour...

Does anybody know a commercial fo-provider (renderx/antenna?) which 
supports fo:float?

thx alot
Johannes

fo:float is used for letting text float around an image. But FOP doesn't
implement that element, yet. Maybe you could try to emulate this
behaviour using tables.
