Hey Colin,
Your solution works perfectly... if the table in question is exactly
10cm wide :) No worries, though, because seeing that led me to some
more investigation and trial-and-error, and now I believe that I have
a solution that works for any size table, in case anyone else is
interested:
<xsl:template name="table.layout">
<xsl:param name="table.content" select="NOTANODE" />
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@tabstyle='center'">
<fo:table table-layout="fixed" width="100%">
<fo:table-column />
<fo:table-column >
<!-- Set center column width equal to table
width -->
<xsl:attribute name="column-width">
<xsl:call-template name="table.width"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</fo:table-column>
<fo:table-column />
<fo:table-body>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell column-number="2">
<xsl:copy-of select="$table.content" />
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
</fo:table-body>
</fo:table>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:copy-of select="$table.content" />
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
I think that with a few adjustments, it could also work for right-
aligning a table.

I should add that this wasn't with DocBook that I used this method
(I replied without realizing), so this may not help you figure out
how to customize the DocBook templates.

Hi,
The method shown on the FOP website has worked for me in the past
(using FOP, of course):

Hello friendly list people,
I know this topic has come up in the past a few times, but none of
the solutions I've found seem to be working out. I'm trying to
center a table horizontally on a page. I'm using the XSL
stylesheets v.1.72, DocBook 4.4, and XEP 3.7.7.
I've tried the method listed here: http://www.renderx.net/lists/
xep-support/1444.html but it seems to create three equally-sized
columns with my table left-aligned (and overflowing) in the middle
column. I don't know if I'm "wrapping" the wrong template - I tried
calsTable, table.layout, and make.table.content, all with either
the same result, or no effect. I'm sure that I am just missing
something very minor here... can someone point me in the right
direction?
<xsl:template name="table.layout" >
<xsl:param name="table.content" select="NOTANODE" />
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test= "@tabstyle='center'">
<fo:table width ="100%">
<fo:table-column column-width ="proportional-
column-width(1)"/>
<fo:table-column />
<fo:table-column column-width ="proportional-
column-width(1)"/>
<fo:table-body>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell />
<fo:table-cell>
<xsl:copy-of
select="$table.content" />
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell />
</fo:table-row>
</fo:table-body>
</fo:table>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:copy-of select= "$table.content" />
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
Please tell me what I am doing wrong!
Thanks,
