Re: Place image at top of page

Hi, Michel!

What i think is,

If you can define the image (what need to put on the top of a new page) 
on the right place between paragraphs, than maybe the result will be good.
So, ie.

<fo:block>1. par</fo:block>
<fo:block>2. par</fo:block>
<fo:block>3. par</fo:block>
<fo:block break-before="page">Figure x ... 
<fo:external-graphic>...</fo:block>
<fo:block>4. par</fo:block>
<fo:block>5. par</fo:block>
<fo:block break-before="page">Figure x ... 
<fo:external-graphic>...</fo:block>

The first and second image containing blocks (which have the 
break-before attributes) are placed on top first on a new page.

This is the forced page break solution, and you don't need any complex 
page-master definition or "header" (fo:static-content) for this.

May this help for you.

There is a BeforeFloat class that is supposed to place blocks in the before-float area, but even if I use <fo:float float="before"> this class never receives any children.
