Center tables in XEP print output

  • 1.  Center tables in XEP print output

    Posted 12-16-2009 16:27
    Hi all,

    I'm desperately trying to center my tables using Saxon 9.1.0.2J and XEP
    4.16.

    I tried to use the workaround available on
    http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/TableAlignment.html to get the
    expected result but it didn't work correctly.
    It centers my tables but it compresses them horizontally and makes them
    too narrow.

    Then I tried to set the attribute 'wrap-option' to 'no-wrap' which
    resulted in good looking small tables but too wide big tables.

    I have made 2 screenshots - one where you can see the narrow tables, and
    one with the wide ones.

    Just take a look at them here:

    Any ideas?

    Thank you in advance!

    Greetings from Vienna,

    Mathias
