[xsl] placing graphics side by side with xsl-fo

---

---

I have no real experience with XSL-FO. I've been working on XML to XML
transforms. However, I've been asked to modify an XSL-FO stylesheet to display
subfigures side by side. Right now they are rendering one over the other.

Essentially, I need each <subfig> to render side by side, not over/under.

Here is the basic XML.

<figure>
<title>TITLE</title>
<subfig><graphic boardno="it1235"/></subfig>
<subfig><graphic boardno="it1234"/></subfig>
</figure>

The current templates:




<!--Figure Element -->

	<xsl:template match="figure">
			<xsl:if test="@figtype='normal-page'">
			<fo:block-container font-family="serif" font-size="10pt"
keep-together.within-page="always" space-after.minimum="0pt"
space-after.optimum="0pt" space-before.minimum="9pt"
space-before.optimum="10pt" text-align="center" display-align="center">
			<xsl:if test="descendant::graphic">
					<xsl:attribute name="text-align">
					<xsl:choose>
						<xsl:when test="descendant::graphic/@hplace='right'">right</xsl:when>
						<xsl:when test="descendant::graphic/@hplace='left'">left</xsl:when>
