please remove the "generate=True" from the test below:

Run # Ensuring there is no generate=True left remaining in calls to assert_pdf_equal:
test/outline/test_outline.py: assert_pdf_equal(pdf, HERE / "test_start_section_horizontal_alignment.pdf", tmp_path, generate=True)

Hi @andersonhc,

Added commit to remove generate=True

Hi @andersonhc,

Added commit to remove generate=True

The test on python 3.9 is failing due to use of pipe to union. That feature was introduced in Python 3.10

Can you replace it by Union so we can keep compatibility with older Python versions?

[visheshdvivedi]

Hi @andersonhc,

Replaced pipe operator with Union as suggested.

Suggested change

	# added support for 'Align' and 'str' type values for l_margin
	if isinstance(l_margin, (Align, int)):
	self.l_margin = l_margin
	elif isinstance(l_margin, str):
	self.l_margin = Align.coerce(l_margin)
	else:
	self.l_margin = 0
	self.l_margin = Align.coerce(l_margin)

Isn't this one line enough?

[visheshdvivedi]

Hi @Lucas-C,

I dont think Align.coerce can handle integer values, so I added conditions for the 3 possible types integer, string and Align.

Good job overall @visheshdvivedi 👍

The GitHub Actions pipeline is currently failing:

Run black --check .
Skipping .ipynb files as Jupyter dependencies are not installed.
You can fix this by running ``pip install "black[jupyter]"``
would reformat /home/runner/work/fpdf2/fpdf2/test/outline/test_outline.py
would reformat /home/runner/work/fpdf2/fpdf2/fpdf/fpdf.py

Oh no! 💥 💔 💥
2 files would be reformatted, 188 files would be left unchanged.

To solve this, you could either install & setup pre-commit hooks: https://py-pdf.github.io/fpdf2/Development.html#pre-commit-hook
Or just run black on the 2 files mentioned in the log above.

Once you'll have rebased your branch on this repo master branch,
you should find this on line 44 in fpdf/html.py:

    "title": TextStyle(  # Only rendered if render_title_tag=True
        b_margin=0.4,
        font_size_pt=30,
        t_margin=6,
        # center=True, - Enable this once #1282 is implemented
    ),

This comes from PR #1298.
Could you replace the commented out center=True line by l_margin=Align.C now that you have implemented this feature, please?

Hi @visheshdvivedi

Just for your information, several occurences of title_style were renamed into text_style in commit 7b3f1bd last week.

I think this caused minor issues in your PR when you rebased your branch:

fpdf/fpdf.py:5153:31: E0602: Undefined variable 'title_style' (undefined-variable)
fpdf/fpdf.py:5169:11: E0602: Undefined variable 'text_style' (undefined-variable)
fpdf/fpdf.py:5169:26: E0602: Undefined variable 'text_style' (undefined-variable)
fpdf/fpdf.py:5170:20: E0602: Undefined variable 'text_style' (undefined-variable)

[Lucas-C]

Hi @visheshdvivedi 🙂

Just to get a quick update: do you still want to implement this feature?

[visheshdvivedi]

Hi @Lucas-C ,

Yes, very much.

Aplogies for the delay on my side, have been occupied for sometime in personal tasks. But I will try to put more time on this and complete it.
