Yes, although I don't think I'd advocate that particular syntax. :) As others have mentioned, the TeX algorithm doesn't actually center the middle piece of text. You could put the left and right pieces in containers having identical, explicit widths, but I think the most general solution would be to have two (or three) separate, superposed boxes, each occupying the full width of the line. >It does bother me that four people can suggest four different ways of >solving the same (simple) problem. That bothers me, too. It's an inevitable consequence of backwards-compatibility, and sometimes also a sign of design-by-committtee. >It bothers me even more to read phrases like "in the long run". This >is pretty core stuff -- it surely needs to be clear in XSL FO 1.0? Well, both you and I agree that it's something that should be in XSL 1.0, but I'm not holding my breath. -Steve Schafer XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
