[xep-support] Re: Centering a block of text

I with Ken on this one, not sure what "dynamic change" you are looking for.

For instance, if you wish the centered block to be 2in wide, then this is
perfect:

                        <fo:table width="100%">
                                <fo:table-column
column-width="proportional-column-width(1)"/>
                                <fo:table-column column-width="2in"/>
                                <fo:table-column
column-width="proportional-column-width(1)"/>
                                <fo:table-body>
                                        <fo:table-row>
        
<fo:table-cell><fo:block><fo:leader/></fo:block></fo:table-cell>
                                                <fo:table-cell>
                                                        <fo:block>I am a
happy little line of left-aligned text within a 2in centered table
column.</fo:block>
                                                </fo:table-cell>
        
<fo:table-cell><fo:block><fo:leader/></fo:block></fo:table-cell>
                                        </fo:table-row>
                                        
                                </fo:table-body>
                        </fo:table>

What kind of "dynamic changes" do you need to support that cannot be
accommodated with a table cell?
