Re: [docbook] centring a picture

[Richard Hamilton <hamilton@xmlpress.net>]

Hi Alex,

Try align="center" on the imagedata element.

I would also suggest checking out Bob Stayton's book, which has a lot of information about image placement and scaling, a topic that can get hairy.

You can find the book online at http://sagehill.net and I recommend getting the print version if you do very much with DocBook.

BTW, the docbook-apps mailing list is the best place for this kind of request, so I'm cross-posting my reply there.

Best regards,
Dick Hamilton
