centered paragraphs

[juh2]

I don't know how to get centered paragraphs with pandoc and context. Any hints?

The solution would be better if attributes were enabled in Markdown for paragraphs. But anyway, your source code may read

<div class="centered">
Your centered paragraph comes here.

One or many ones
</div>

You should add to your CSS file (file specified in stylesheet in YAML metadata):

div#centered {
    text-align: center;
}

And you should add to your pandoc-xhtml.tex source (I want to update mine, but I messed my local git repo :cold_sweat:):

\xmlsetsetup{\xmldocument}
    {div[@class='centered']}
    {xml:centeredblock}

\startxmlsetups xml:centeredblock
    \startalign[center]\xmlflush{#1}\stopalign
\stopxmlsetups

Thanks a lot.

In my case the CSS has to be

div.centered p {
    text-align: center;
}

I hope you can save your repo.

@juh2, you’re right, it was a newbie mistake.

My selector was for a unique identifier and the code requires a class.

Although this should work too:

div.centered {
    text-align: center;
}

That centers the whole block (the division), no matter which elements it contains.

[As not done previously, I have tested the above CSS code myself.]
