sidebar.float.type — Select type of float for sidebar elements

Synopsis

<xsl:param name="sidebar.float.type">none</xsl:param>

Description

Selects the type of float for sidebar elements.

  • If sidebar.float.type is none, then no float is used.

  • If sidebar.float.type is before, then the float appears at the top of the page. On some processors, that may be the next page rather than the current page.

  • If sidebar.float.type is left, then a left side float is used.

  • If sidebar.float.type is start, then when the text direction is left-to-right a left side float is used. When the text direction is right-to-left, a right side float is used.

  • If sidebar.float.type is right, then a right side float is used.

  • If sidebar.float.type is end, then when the text direction is left-to-right a right side float is used. When the text direction is right-to-left, a left side float is used.

  • If your XSL-FO processor supports floats positioned on the inside or outside of double-sided pages, then you have those two options for side floats as well.
