As the documentation for proposed Boost.AFIO comes together for this week's GSoC Milestone 1 (feel free to check it out at https://ci.nedprod.com/job/Boost.AFIO%20Build%20Documentation/Boost.AFIO_Doc umentation/?), a problem has emerged. We'd like a matrix table containing ticks and crosses, and building such a thing in QuickBook is easy.
However, we'd also like to center the ticks and crosses in each table cell, otherwise it looks poor. Is there some way I haven't realized of aligning content in Boost QuickBook, or even BoostBook itself?
The DocBook documentation suggests one can do a '''<entry align="center">'''__tick__'''</entry>''' (the triple single ticks escape from QuickBook into BoostBook). However unfortunately BoostBook defines CSS which overrides the per-cell alignment :(
How about trying <colspec align="center"> instead? If I understand the documentation right, you should put that in the table heading.
