Re: [docbook-apps] Centering Figures in Html With CSS: No Luck!

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Hi Tom,
If I add your style to my docbook css file, it does center the graphic.

div.mediaobject {
  text-align: center;
}

Is the css stylesheet specified in the 'html.stylesheet' parameter so the reference to 
it is inserted in the HTML files?

Is the reference getting into the HTML files?

Is the css stylesheet getting to the HTML output directory (that step is not done by 
the XSL process)?

Do other styles in the CSS files work?

Are there div elements with class="mediaobject" in the HTML output?
