Floating an image (block right and wrap text)?
Hello,
I'm having trouble anchoring an image to the right margin and flowing
text around it. I'm using FOP 1.1 and I recently learned the
`floatstyle` attribute on a figure is not supported.
Does anyone know if this issue is fixed in HEAD?
Would anyone be willing to accept a PayPal donation in return for a
timely delivery of a source code patch? I'd be happy to provide a few
simple test cases. And I don't care about other object types - I just
need the figure.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Jeff,
The XSL-FO Working sub group categorized XSL-FO features into basic,
extended and complete. This is not something the FOP developers decided.
Image support is indeed a basic feature, no one is disputing that, and
inserting an image is possible today. Flowing text around an image is
what is not possible today. You can still position text next to an image
using a Table.
You mentioned you were willing to give a Paypal donation to provide
support for fo:float implementation. I should warn you the reason its
not been done today is because we spent 1 year developing a prototype
and it still wasn't finished. So a complete implementation would be
several man years to finish.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi Jennilee,
Unfortunately the XSL-FO specification does not provide for injecting
PDF specific items such as AcroForms or XFA into the generated PDF.
Apache FOP doesn't have an extension for it either.
Thanks,
Chris

Good day,
Do you perhaps know how to add an Editable text box , Radio button and Check Boxes to a XSL Stylesheet that when the form is generated / rendered via Apache FOP into a PDF format – it allows the user to enter text or check the radio button / checkbox before printing the form.
We have been looking for a solution all over and you are my last hope. An easy solution would do or if you could post the code of how to add in the Editable Text box, Radio button and Check boxes to the XSL Stylesheet. In some instances the text box should also allow for multiple lines to be captured.
I would really appreciate your feedback and assistance.
Kind Regards,
Jennilee

Its hard to believe placing an image is considered extended
functionality. That's part of core word processing functionality (I
can't comment on typesetting because I'm not a typesetter, but I
suspect its core for them, too).

Jeffrey,
FOP compliance page [1] gives the HEAD status (refer to "FOP dev" column).
