Re: Why is text-align="left"(and "start") not working for DOCX output?

Hi,

    I'm using MS-Word 2010 and I don't know if it is XFC bug or not.
    It may be an issue with MS-Word version.

    Anyway, my concern is that both text-align="start" and text-align="left"
attributes does not affect
    DOCX output.

    Please refer to attachments:

    1. manual_capture.JPG : I have captured the document that you sent me.
As you can see from it, there is a align problem in verbatim block.
    2. align_right.zip : text-align="right" attribute inserts "<w:jc
w:val="right"/>" to document.xml
        in verbatim.docx file.
    3. align_start_or_left.zip : text-align="start" and "left" attributes
never insert 
        "<w:jc w:val="left"/>" to document.xml in verbatim.docx file.

    So, please let me know how to set "<w:jc w:val="left"/>" to document.xml
of DOCX file.

Best regards,

Ronnie

--> If you think you have found a bug, then please file a *formal* bug
report. A XSL-FO snippet is not sufficient. This is clearly explained here:

  http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/support.html#xfc_support_policy



--> Note that we don't have such problems in the .docx files we generate 
using our own XSL stylesheets. See for example the following document 
(please take the time to open it in Word 2007+ and to browse at least 
its first few pages):

http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/manual.docx

In case it helps, the attribute-set we use to for ``verbatim blocks'' is 
simply:

---
   <xsl:attribute-set name="monospace-block-style"
                      use-attribute-sets="monospace-style block-style">
     <xsl:attribute name="white-space">pre</xsl:attribute>
     <xsl:attribute name="text-align">left</xsl:attribute>
     <xsl:attribute name="hyphenate">false</xsl:attribute>
   </xsl:attribute-set>
---



Nothing special about monospace-style and block-style:
---
   <xsl:attribute-set name="monospace-style">
     <xsl:attribute name="font-family">monospace</xsl:attribute>
     <xsl:attribute name="font-size">90%</xsl:attribute>
   </xsl:attribute-set>

   <xsl:attribute-set name="block-style">
     <xsl:attribute name="space-before.optimum">0.75em</xsl:attribute>
     <xsl:attribute name="space-before.minimum">0.6em</xsl:attribute>
     <xsl:attribute name="space-before.maximum">0.9em</xsl:attribute>
     <xsl:attribute name="space-after.optimum">0.75em</xsl:attribute>
     <xsl:attribute name="space-after.minimum">0.6em</xsl:attribute>
     <xsl:attribute name="space-after.maximum">0.9em</xsl:attribute>
   </xsl:attribute-set>
