Re: [docbook-apps] Header and footer alignment for center cell

[Richard Hamilton <hamilton@xmlpress.net>]

Hi Kevin,

XSL-FO 1.1 has the values inside and outside for text-align, which should do the job.

Those values are supported in renderx (xep), but I think FOP doesnât support them. Iâm not sure about Antenna House (but Iâll bet they do).

I hope that helps.

Best regards,
Dick Hamilton

"center" centers the center cell for both recto and verso pages, which is acceptable. But some books (e.g., DocBook XSL TCG) align "end" on the recto pages and "start" on the verso pages, which I find attractive.
