table and figure

Hello,



I 'd like to repeat a graphic on a verso page when the table following the graphic fills more than one page, in order to always have the graphic on the left page and the table (describing the graphic) on the right, even if the figure tag appears only one time before the table.



Thanks for any help.

Yves,

First what styling tool are you using? FOSI, FO, or Styler?

I know this was asked a good while back, in the days when I really contributed. I am sure there was an answer, but I don't recall what was said.

If you are using FOSI, you may want to look at setting up a <float> with a scope of the table. I won't guarantee this will work, but it is a start.

If I recall a major issue with this, it was breaking the table for the float to appear properly.

I forgot to say I'm using FOSI (in EPIC 5.2)

If the figure floats, then if the table starts a recto page and
continues to a verso page, the figure will occur on the next page, which
would be a recto. He wants the graphic to always appear on a verso
page. Because of this, in the preceding example, he wants the figure to
repeat on the next (verso) page, but *only* if the original instance of
the graphic is on a recto page. At least, that's what I interpreted
from the original post.

I don't know about FO or Styler, but this is difficult in FOSI, because
the flowtext information is mostly kept separated from the page
information. It would be difficult, without some post-processing, to
set a rule to insert another instance of the same graphic file or entity
reference, based upon the page model initiated by any random graphic
file or entity reference.

This might help. Granted, the subject of the condition in the writeup
is caption, but you might be able to do something with table, instead.


full-page figure to start on a verso page"

Good luck!

Thanks for your help.

The solution we found(may be not the best but it works) :

In fact, the first instance of the figure always appears on a verso page (the figure tag decides). I do a save text of the #CONTENT of the figure tag.
The table tag decides to begin on a recto page (of an other layout).
I just defined, in the header of the verso of the table page layout, a use text of the content of figure tag saved before.
The problem was that the table was then printed on (exactly ON) the figure.
So the last modification was to define a header depth of 297mm (Yes, it's to much, I could adjust it)in order not to let any place for the table on this verso.

May be a float should be better than a savetext, usetext?
A little problem was also th title of the figure that appears in the #CONTENT and is written before the graphic
(the tags are <figure><title>xxxxx</title><graphic xxxxx="></figure>)
For that, we just modified the usetext highlighting fontcolor to white.
I'm not very proud of all that...

Bye.

If I understand this correctly, I'm thinking that a repeating float is what is needed. <disclaimer>I haven't tried this, I'm just thinking out loud.</disclaimer>

A full-page-sized floatloc would be defined and referenced only on verso pages. The figure would be coded to float to that floatloc, with scope=table. If the markup is <figure>...</figure><table>...</table>, figure may need to be suppressed and saved and output placemnt=before on the eic for table in order for scope=table to work.

BTW: Be sure that table does not include a keeps floutsout for this floatloc.

Good luck!
