Re: [docbook-apps] Table Center

[Rogério Rosa <rogerio.rosa@eixodigital.com>]

Thank you all.

I am responsible for the developing of the stylesheet for my organisation, however is not me who is producing the documentation. I realise the problem was caused because the user is using a processing-instruction to define the table-width. I have solved it by reading that value.

The solution suggested by Dean works perfectly. 

Once again, many thanks.

Best Regards,

Its been years since I dealt with this code, but it looks like you need to use the "width" attribute in the table.

Sorry, I don't have your table to test with anymore. I will test it on some of mine today.

However I need to ask if that works with apache fop ? I am getting some strange behaviour, the table is centred but

it shrinks in comparison with the desired size. 

Any ideias ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi!

I suppose you are talking about PDF output, right? My understanding is that this depends on the FO engine you are using. Both RenderX and FOP need some tweaks whereas AH Formatter has support for center aligned tables out of the box. You should read about table alignment here:
