Thank you for responding so quickly. You're correct that XXE displays the captions and images centered, but when I convert the document to pdf only the image is centered (via the align attribute). So, I end up with the caption left justified and the image centered.
It's hard to believe captions can't be centered; I hope it's just ignorance on my part. I can't find anything in the docbook documentation and was hoping you'd be able to help. In many ways, I like the XXE screen format better than that generated for pdf. Thanks again for the help. clark -----Original Message----- From: Hussein Shafie [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, February 18, 2008 4:38 AM To: Clark Karr Cc: xmleditor-support at xmlmind.com Subject: Re: [XXE] Centering figure captions horizontally on page Clark Karr wrote: > XXE doesn't seem to allow centering figure captions, although figures can be > centered via the 'align' attribute. > > Can figure captions be centered and, if so, how do I do that in XXE? I'm sorry but I don't understand. The DocBook "figure" element doesn't have an "align" attribute (but the "imagedata" element has one). Figure captions (that is, figure *titles*), always look centered when rendered on screen by XXE.
