Question

automatically detect page wide figures?

Hi all,


I'm working on a 5.4 stylesheet that has default two-column figures but some are page wide. The captions on the page wides are still using two-columns. Is there a way to detect if the figure is page wide without having to check for an attribute, which at this time isn't being used? I wanted to see if I could do this solely in the style sheet without having to ask production to add an attribute indicating a page wide graphic.


Thanks!

    My experience has been with 38784 CALS-type military technical manuals, which for years have been using the pgwide attribute to control this behavior in a stylesheet (usually FOSI), which has an attribute rule to change formatting based upon the content of the pgwide attribute for tables and graphics.

    Thanks Ed. I will ask production to add in an attribute.
