Dear Bill,
 
The W3C recommendations mention that you can use the <table-and-caption> element to format a table. I have just tried this, but it appears that this element is not implemented in FOP nor in XEP. 
 
To center a table in FOP, you can nest the table in the cell of another table, as follows: 
 
         <fo:table>
           <fo:table-column width="proportional-column-width(1)"/>
           <fo:table-column width="proportional-column-width(1)"/>
           <fo:table-column width="proportional-column-width(1)"/>
           <fo:table-body>
             <fo:table-row>
               <fo:table-cell><fo:block/></fo:table-cell>
               <fo:table-cell><fo:block>
                 
<!-- place the table to be centered here -->
                 
               </fo:block></fo:table-cell>
               <fo:table-cell><fo:block/></fo:table-cell>
             </fo:table-row>
           </fo:table-body>
         </fo:table>
 
I hope this helps.
 
Best regards,

Onderwerp: Tables in XSL-FO



EAD colleagues: 

Does anyone know how to center a table in XSL-FO.  All of the properties I can find only work with text within the table.  I want to center the table. 

Thanks to anyone who can help.
