[xep-support] Center a table on a page

[Alexander Peshkov]

Hello Detlef,

You can center your table by wrapping it in another table like this:

<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>

        <!-- place table which has to be centered here -->
        <fo:table border="thin solid black"> 
          <fo:table-body text-align="center">
            <fo:table-row><fo:table-cell><fo:block>Nested table is here</fo:block></fo:table-cell></fo:table-row>
          </fo:table-body>
        </fo:table>

      </fo:table-cell>
      <fo:table-cell/>
    </fo:table-row>
  </fo:table-body>
</fo:table>             

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
