How to center a table?

[Ellen Juhlin <elj@lcsaudio.com>]

Hello friendly list people,

�

I know this topic has come up in the past a few times, but none of the solutions I've found seem to be working out. I'm trying to center a table horizontally on a page. I'm using the XSL stylesheets v.1.72, DocBook 4.4, and XEP 3.7.7.

I've tried the method listed here:�http://www.renderx.net/lists/xep-support/1444.html but it seems to create three equally-sized columns with my table left-aligned (and overflowing) in the middle column. I don't know if I'm "wrapping" the wrong template - I tried calsTable, table.layout, and make.table.content, all with either the same result, or no effect. I'm sure that I am just missing something very minor here... can someone point me in the right direction?

<xsl:template name="table.layout">

� � � � <xsl:param name="table.content" select="NOTANODE" />

� � � � <xsl:choose>

� � � � � � <xsl:when test="@tabstyle='center'">

� � � � � � � � <fo:table width="100%">

� � � � � � � � � � <fo:table-column column-width="proportional-column-width(1)"/>

� � � � � � � � � � <fo:table-column />

� � � � � � � � � � <fo:table-column column-width="proportional-column-width(1)"/>

� � � � � � � � � � <fo:table-body>

� � � � � � � � � � � � <fo:table-row>

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � <fo:table-cell�/>

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � <fo:table-cell>

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � <xsl:copy-of select="$table.content" />

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � </fo:table-cell>

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � <fo:table-cell�/>

� � � � � � � � � � � � </fo:table-row>

� � � � � � � � � � </fo:table-body>

� � � � � � � � </fo:table>

� � � � � � </xsl:when>

� � � � � � <xsl:otherwise>

� � � � � � � � <xsl:copy-of select="$table.content" />

� � � � � � </xsl:otherwise>

� � � � </xsl:choose>

� � </xsl:template>

Please tell me what I am doing wrong!

Thanks,
