How to get Niall's alignment in tables to work in pdf will need some more expert input. (OK for html). [snip] When is a convenient time to commit doc/src/boostbook.css?
I would class my table alignment and colour solution as a temporary workaround which just happens to work by chance on HTML output.
Really QuickBook needs more formal explicit support for both colouring and alignment. The syntax for that I am unsure of, but it really must not be lots of nested []'s. It's already bad enough with my temporary workaround when I accidentally mismatch those and spend too long hand groking them for
the mistake :( Been there - done that - really, really tiresome! But considering the amount of use people will make of color within text (and alignment), I think it is good enough for now. Thanks for your very useful input on this. Paul --- Paul A. Bristow, Prizet Farmhouse, Kendal LA8 8AB UK +44 1539 561830 07714330204 pbristow@hetp.u-net.com
