Hi, After going nuts for a day and a half and also trawling the archives of fop-dev and fop-user and the FAQs, can anyone please enlighten me to a) why the following code doesn't center the table and b) how to do it !.
I've tried the FAQ from http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect3/N8922.html#d65e78 , i.e. <fo:table width="[X]" start-indent="(100% - [X]) div 2"> yet that applies the indent to the cells, not the table. The snippet below attempts to use tables within a table cell using <fo:block display-align="center">, however it still doesn't center the table! I also tried ... <fo:table table-layout="fixed" text-align="center"> from http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-dev&m=101318356612822&w=2 on fop-dev but no luck !. The FAQ on http://www.owal.co.uk/cgi-bin/fopfaq.cgi#__993 asks the right question but doesn't give an answer (the setting of display-align="center" to the region body doesn't work. I'm rendering using fop-0.20.3. So here's my attempt at the table within a table solution from http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fop-dev&m=100748671512873&w=2 below. I'm rendering a table with two columns 74mm & 26mm in a table whose width is 200mm. (The code below is significantly cut down from what I'm actually rendering). If anyone can tell me the obvious mistake (if any) then I would much appreciate it!.
