Hello, XMLmind Support Team. Was there ever a resolution to the problem of horizontally centering (in the final .pdf document) the figure captions? (see below) Thanks a lot, Marilyn

More precisely you need to add: <xsl:attribute name="text-align">center</xsl:attribute> to the formal.title.properties attribute set: <xsl:attribute-set name="formal.title.properties" use-attribute-sets="normal.para.spacing"> <xsl:attribute name="font-weight">bold</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="font-size"> <xsl:value-of select="$body.font.master * 1.2"></xsl:value-of> <xsl:text>pt</xsl:text> </xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="hyphenate">false</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="space-after.minimum">0.4em</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="space-after.optimum">0.6em</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="space-after.maximum">0.8em</xsl:attribute> </xsl:attribute-set> More info. in http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/fo/index.html Unfortunately there is no easy way to do this from XMLmind XML Editor, but if you want, you can directly edit XXE_install_dir/addon/config/docbook/xsl/fo/param.xsl (For DocBook 5, you'll have to edit XXE_install_dir/addon/config/docbook5/xsl/fo/param.xsl) ________________________________ * Previous message: [XXE] Centering figure captions horizontally on page <http://www.xmlmind.com/pipermail/xmleditor-support/2008-February/006209.html> * Next message: [XXE] Centering figure captions horizontally on page <http://www.xmlmind.com/pipermail/xmleditor-support/2008-February/006215.html> * Messages sorted by: [ date ]<http://www.xmlmind.com/pipermail/xmleditor-support/2008-February/date.html#6214> [ thread ]<http://www.xmlmind.com/pipermail/xmleditor-support/2008-February/thread.html#6214> [ subject ]<http://www.xmlmind.com/pipermail/xmleditor-support/2008-February/subject.html#6214> [ author ]<http://www.xmlmind.com/pipermail/xmleditor-support/2008-February/author.html#6214> ________________________________ More information about the XMLeditor-Support mailing list<http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xmleditor-support>
