Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] table title horizontal alignment, center
I think you will need to customize the template named formal.object.heading in fo/formal.xsl. Something like this: <xsl:template name="formal.object.heading"> <xsl:param name="object" select="."/> <xsl:param name="placement" select="'before'"/> <fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="formal.title.properties"> <!-- ADD THE FOLLOWING THREE LINES --> <xsl:if test="self::table"> <xsl:attribute name="text-align">center</xsl:attribute> </xsl:if> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$placement = 'before'"> <xsl:attribute name="keep-with-next.within-column">always</xsl:attribute> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:attribute name="keep-with-previous.within-column">always</xsl:attribute> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> <xsl:apply-templates select="$object" mode="object.title.markup"> <xsl:with-param name="allow-anchors" select="1"/> </xsl:apply-templates> </fo:block> </xsl:template> It checks to see if the formal object is a table, and if so adds the text-align attribute. I presume you only wanted to do this with tables, not figures, examples, etc. Bob Stayton Sagehill Enterprises DocBook Consulting bobs@sagehill.net ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Whitlatch" <swhitlat@getnet.net> To: <docbook-apps@lists.oasis-open.org> Sent: Wednesday, March 17, 2004 5:37 PM Subject: [docbook-apps] table title horizontal alignment, center > Hello, > > I am experimenting with techniques for horizontally aligning table > titles.
