| 23.1 | centering title lines | HAM::HOFFMANN | | Fri Mar 06 1987 15:20 | 9 |
| Well, I really can't get this to work. Let me try to describe
the problem again:
I am trying to center several title lines in the frontmatter.
It works for all lines but the first. Also, when I center text
on the same page, for example abstract text, it seems to get
centered differently. Any suggestions?

The problem is that explicit format of the <title> tag is tied to
the document's design and really can't be altered by using formatting
tags like <center_line> etc.
The reason that you are getting centering when you leave out the
first argument is that the text for the first line is set at a
specific indention level and subsequent lines are 'assumed' to be
at the same level. By skipping the first one, what you are really
getting is a blank line.
The answer is that the format must be modified in the DTP, if you
need centering. The question I have is, how kind/unkind will users
think SDML if an attempt to use <center_line> or <right_line> inside
a <title> tag issues a warning message?

I think users would like to know when a tag is not going to do
what they expect (such as a warning when <CENTER_LINE> is used inside
a <TITLE> tag)
And Why dosent the TITLE get centered for each line?
I would think it should?

You are correct that if a formatting command is ignored in a
particular context (as in trying to use <center_line> inside
a <running_title>, you should at least get an informational message.
These formatting commands do not work in title lines; the format
of a title (and the contents ) are controlled by the document's
DESIGN file.
