Hi,
I have a fairly simple one, almost a FAQ, I assume, and I almost feel a
deja vu effect...but nonetheless I was not able to find an answer...
I have 3 fairly common scenarios for rendering a simple image and some
text. I'd like to know how the right way to do this with fo's .
1.
<example>
This is shown in the image below :
|----------|
| an image |
------------
As we can see...
</example>
I suppose this could be done with something along the lines of
<fo:block>This is shown in the image below :
<fo:block>
<fo:external-graphic src=... />
</fo:block>
As we can see
</fo:block>
Corrections?
2.
<example>
|---------| Here is the image. I don't want to use a list but
| image | I'd like several lines of text to be nicely placed
|---------| next to the image
</example>
3.
<example>
Let's see what happens in this case when the image is part of the
|---------|
text. | image | Well well, in this case the text, when reaching
|---------|
the end of the line, wraps below the image and life goes on from here...
</example>
I guess this would be just
<fo:block>Let's see what happens in this case when the image is part of
the text <fo:external graphic.. .. /> Well well...
</fo:block>
Am I correct? Just seems that pretty ugly looking layout will result, if
the images are big. And how would I go about getting the second example?
Thanks,
Teemu Ropponen
