Hi Bob, dear all
you say, the block inside the cell may reset the text-align attribute. This is
indeed the case in my fo-export. Here is a code snippet, where you can see,
that the cell has got the text-align attribute set correctly to 'center', but
then the following child block element resets it to 'start'.
<fo:table-cell padding-start="2pt" padding-end="2pt" padding-top="2pt"
padding-bottom="2pt" keep-together.within-column="always"
border-end-width="0.5pt" border-end-style="solid" border-end-color="blue"
display-align="center" text-align="center">
<fo:block font-size="70%" text-align="start">content here
should be centered</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
Second, what confuses me is that a "text-align" attribute is not specified
within a <fo:table-cell> element in FO as far as I know. So, text-align should
not even show up within fo:table cell, in my eyes.
By the way, there is no difference whether I use a <para> inside the <entry>
element or nor. The only (not remarkable) difference is a further fo:block
child element within the fo:block above.
FOP version 1.1
XSL stylesheets v. 1.78.1
Thanks a lot for your help.
regards
Benjamin

The text-align property is an inherited property in FO, so setting it on
the cell should center its content unless the block inside the cell
resets the text-align property. Are you using para inside the cell, and
does the para's fo:block have a text-align property on it?
Also, what is the FO processor and version?
