A while ago I found out that FOP doesn't allow you to use floats, and a few other features in Xsl-Fo 1.0. I've tried a few different ways to emulate them, but I have had no success. If anyone has had success in this, or has an idea. I would really appreciate enlightenment.
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/compliance.html lists which features of XSL-FO are supported in Apache FOP and which are not. Floats have not been implemented, yet.
