Daniel Norberg created FOP-3289:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: The float related attribute "clear" should be supported
                 Key: FOP-3289
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-3289
             Project: FOP
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 2.11
            Reporter: Daniel Norberg
         Attachments: image-2026-01-12-14-50-33-854.png, image.png, test.fo

Currently, as stated on the home page, the float related attribute "clear" is not supported in FOP. This creates issues if you, for example, want to start a new chapter on the same page but the content flowing next to the float object in the previous chapter has not reached the end of the float object.

Here is a screenshot showing the issue. I want chapter 2 to start after the end of the float image; chapter 2 should not be affected by the float image in the previous chapter. This would be possible if the clear attribute was supported.

I have attached a simple FO (test.fo) and an image (image.png) that can be used for reproducing this example.
