The following example illustrates the use of the @position attribute to control the positioning of figures within a group. Here, the values “`float-left`” and “`float-right`” are used to place the two figures side by side.

    ...
    	<p>The assessed working position is the feeding and cutting of
    	a stack of paper with a paper trimmer press, powered by
    	compressed air and elecricity.  Three basic tasks
    	  have been identified and analysed:<list>
    	    <list-item>
    	      <p>positioning of the paper stack;</p>
    	    </list-item>
    	    <list-item>
    	      <p>pressure on the paper stack;</p>
    	    </list-item>
    	    <list-item>
    	      <p>paper cutting.</p>
    	    </list-item>
    	  </list>
    	</p>
    	<p>Figures <xref ref-type="fig"
    	rid="A-4-positioning">A.4</xref>
    	  and <xref ref-type="fig"
    	rid="A-5-hand">A.5</xref>
    	  show a working placing a stack of paper sheets
    	  before activating the cutting process.
    	</p>
    	<fig-group position="anchor">
    	  <fig id="A-4-positioning" position="float-left">
