# sidebar.float.type

Select type of float for sidebar elements
none

## Description

Selects the type of float for sidebar elements.

- If `sidebar.float.type` is `none`, then no float is used.

- If `sidebar.float.type` is `before`, then the float appears at the top of the page. On some processors, that may be the next page rather than the current page.

- If `sidebar.float.type` is `left`, then a left side float is used.

- If `sidebar.float.type` is `start`, then when the text direction is left-to-right a left side float is used. When the text direction is right-to-left, a right side float is used.

- If `sidebar.float.type` is `right`, then a right side float is used.

- If `sidebar.float.type` is `end`, then when the text direction is left-to-right a right side float is used. When the text direction is right-to-left, a left side float is used.

- If your XSL-FO processor supports floats positioned on the `inside` or `outside` of double-sided pages, then you have those two options for side floats as well.
