XSL Formatter Q&A

It's impossible. The position of list-block is decided according to indent. Therefore, you can't specify text-align to list-block. Please refer to '6.8 Formatting Objects for Lists' on the W3C Recommendation for XSL-FO.

On the other hand, 16.2 Alignment: the 'text-align' property in the CSS2 Specification says that 'This property describes how inline content of a block is aligned'. Therefore this property doesn't describe how blocklevel object is aligned.

For example if you specify as follows:

<fo:block text-align="center">
<fo:list-block>…

text-align is applied to the inline contents in the list-item-label and the list-item-body properties.
