Re: [docbook] para and figure alignment

Hi,

There is no way to indicate such a feature in 
DocBook element markup, because that is a formatting issue.  However, the 
DocBook XSL stylesheets support a "keep-together" feature on para using a 
processing-instruction.  So if you are willing to put the figure inside the 
para with the text of the para, this should work:

 

<para><?dbfo  keep-together="always" 
?>Text of the paragraph.

<figure>

...

</figure>

</para.

 

This will wrap the text and the figure in an 
fo:block with a keep-together.within-column="always" property, which should keep 
them on the same page.

Dear 
  people

  
 

  
In some cases, if 
  a figure is directly shown after an short para, the figure is shown on the 
  next page (pdf output). In this case i want show this figure together with the 
  para on the next page. Is there a solution in docbook to solve this 
  problem?
