cross reference text align is not working

[Jeff Lowe]

Hi,
I am using a MadCap | xref style with text-align set to center. The cross reference text stays along the left margin. The code vrom the css file is below. I would appreciate any suggestions.

{
text-decoration: none;
text-align: center;
color: #b0c4de;
mc-format: '{color blue}{u}Top of {paratext}{/u}{/color}';
}

I'm not sure I have the right terminology for this, but I believe x-refs work as an in-line tag, not as an element like <p>, <h1>, <li>, whatever. So how the text is aligned in an x-ref is going to depend on the container it's in.

I could be totally wrong though.

Nope, you're right -- it depends on how its container tag is set up that determines how the xref is aligned. So create a class of paragraph that has the text centered, apply that class to the paragraph, then insert the xref and the xref should be centered in the output.

Thanks.
