I should add that this wasn't with DocBook that I used this method (I replied without realizing), so this may not help you figure out how to customize the DocBook templates.

Hi,
The method shown on the FOP website has worked for me in the past (using FOP, of course):

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,
