Re: [docbook-apps] Footnote alignment

["Bob Stayton" <bobs at sagehill dot net>]

This is a bug in the DocBook stylesheet.  The footnote template should be
resetting the text-align property so it doesn't inherit it.

Until this is fixed, you will need to customize the match="footnote"
template in fo/footnote.xsl:

        <fo:footnote-body font-family="{$body.fontset}"
                          font-size="{$footnote.font.size}"
                          font-weight="normal"
                          font-style="normal"
                          text-align="left"
                          ...

The last attribute is the property you need to add.
