Hi,
There is a quite old FOP branch that aims to implement fo:float (see [1])
IIRC, it was based on FOP-1196 patch (see [2]).
This issue is still open, but there is no plan to merge it to trunk.
[1] https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xmlgraphics/fop/branches/Temp_Floats
[2] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-1196

Hi Robert,
Thanks for your help.
I can see your solution but my point is, the solution you provided is strictly content specific. And my primary requirement is, the content can be changed with respect to different xml and the content can be of any length.
Until the float functionality is there in FOP,your solution is the only one I can use.
But unfortunately it will not fulfill my requirement,so I have to come up with another layout.
Regards,
Suman Ray

Hi,
Floats are not currently supported by FOP:
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/compliance.html
http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/#d0e14346
If you're not using XSLT and rather creating an actual FO document, what you could do is use an absolute positioned block-container to reproduce the effect. You would need to know how much text to put in it and follow it up with a block with some follow-on text. I created the attached PDF using that method, but as a warning it's very finicky and you'd need to add a margin to the top of the following block to ensure the correct line spacing.
Unless someone has a better suggestion it's about the best that can be done until the feature is implemented unfortunately.

Robert Meyer
