Re: AW: [docbook-apps] Centered table cells

[Ron Catterall <ron@catterall.net>]

I have no problem centering content of cells for Docbook 5.1 using 
Oxygen 17.1 with docbook-xsl-ns-1.79.1 (or 1.79.0)

I do NOT implement the extensions - this might possibly be relevant.
<!--
<xsl:param name="use.extensions" select="1" />
<xsl:param name="tablecolumns.extension" select="1" />
-->

Just for the record I do have some table customization but these do not 
appear to be relevant)  These I do implement:
<!-- table border styles  -->
<xsl:param name="table.frame.border.color" select="'black'" />
<xsl:param name="table.cell.border.color" select="'black'" />
<xsl:param name="table.frame.border.thickness" select="'medium'" />
<xsl:param name="table.cell.border.thickness" select="'thin'" />
<xsl:param name="table.frame.border.style" select="'solid'" />
<xsl:param name="table.cell.border.style" select="'solid'" />

<!-- table header to come only at start of table - skip header at page 
breaks  -->
<xsl:attribute-set name="table.table.properties">
  <xsl:attribute name="table-omit-header-at-break">true</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>

<!-- table properties control for the fo:block that contains a table and 
its title-->
<xsl:attribute-set name="table.properties">
<xsl:attribute name="space-before.minimum">0.5em</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="space-before.optimum">1.0em</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="space-before.maximum">2.0em</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="space-before.minimum">0.5em</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="space-before.optimum">1.0em</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="space-before.maximum">2.0em</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="keep-together.within-column">auto</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>

<!-- table footer to come only at end of table - skip footer at page 
breaks  -->
<xsl:attribute-set name="table.table.properties">
  <xsl:attribute name="table-omit-footer-at-break">true</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>

<!-- table header to come only at start of table - skip header at page 
breaks  -->
<xsl:attribute-set name="table.table.properties">
  <xsl:attribute name="table-omit-header-at-break">true</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>

  <!-- get tables without any titles, figures with title only (no 
chapter x) -->
  <!-- DocbookXSL 4th. edition, p.494 -->
  <xsl:param name="local.l10n.xml" select="document('')"/>
  <l:i18n xmlns:l="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/xmlns/l10n/1.0";>
    <l:l10n language="en">
      <l:context name="title">
        <l:template name="table"  text="%t"/>
      </l:context>
      <l:context name="xref-number-and-title">
        <l:template name="table"  text="the table titled 
&#8220;%t&#8221;"/>
      </l:context>
      <l:context name="title">
        <l:template name="figure" text="%t"/>
      </l:context>
      <l:context name="xref-number-and-title">
        <l:template name="figure" text="the figure titled 
&#8220;%t&#8221;"/>
      </l:context>
    </l:l10n>
  </l:i18n>
  <xsl:template match="table"  mode="label.markup"/>
  <xsl:template match="figure" mode="label.markup"/>
