position
Position
Typically indicates whether a display object (for example, figure, table, boxed text) must
be anchored in its exact location within the text or may float to a different location in the
document (for example, top of the next page, into the next column, within a separate window). Also
used to indicate that the display object should be placed in the margin or used as a background image behind the text.
Used on these Elements:
<boxed-text>, <chem-struct-wrap>, <code>, <fig>, <fig-group>, <graphic>, <media>, <preformat>, <supplementary-material>, <table-wrap>, <table-wrap-group>
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| anchor | The object must remain in its exact location in the text flow. |
| background | The object (typically an image) is used as background displayed visually “behind” the narrative text. |
| float | The object is not anchored and may be moved to a new column, a new window, a new page, the end of the document, etc. |
| margin | In print, the object should be placed in the margin or gutter; online, the object should remain closely associated with the text. |
