 Kaila Kaarle wrote: Yes, you are right. The way to centre a table is to use table-and-caption and use the "centre contents in inline-progression direction" directive which happens to be named "text-align=" (don't be distracted by the name of the property, that name applies even when aligning graphic content inside of a content window). There is an explicit paragraph in 6.7.2 that states the presence of this inheritable attribute are "placed relative to the context-rectangle...as specified by the text-align trait". That gives credence to the interpretation of "text-align" to be "centre contents in the inline-progression direction". So, in the absence of table-and-caption, the table is not centred, but when present, the table-and-caption centres the table. I believe the XSL-FO 1.0 specification is quite explicit on this. The instance below works just as expected in Antenna House and Ibex, though I do not get the expected results from XEP. The first test doesn't use table-and-caption, while the other two do, the first with an explicit specification of text-align= and the second with an inherited specification of text-align=. Thus, the second and third tables should be centred. I hope this helps. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Ken <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?><!--georges.fo-->
