Re: Floating a figure next to the preceding paragraph

Christoph Päper:

> a paragraph that semantically introduces a figure and, therefore, in markup the text should also come before the table or embedded picture, but they should be displayed side-by-side, with the figure starting at the same vertical position as the paragraph (i.e. aligned top edges) or at the next available position below.

Maybe Regions could do it with few additions:

  p {
    position: relative;
    padding-right: 20em;
    flow-flush: figures; /* force display of figures that came earlier */
  }
  figure {
    flow-into: figures;
  }
  p::after {
    flow-from: figures;
    position: absolute; top: 0; right: 0;
    width: 18em;
  }

(Sorry, I didn’t look up the most recent syntax.)
