Re: centred piece titles

[Aurèle Duda]

Formatting title in 2.4.5 is rather more complicated; all function is coded in 
scheme in 2.4.5/scm/titling.scm .
For instance, if you would to make all the subtitles left-aligned, you should 
changed 'fill-line' with 'column' on line
49. but it's rather dangerous if you don't know scheme syntax; you you really 
want to hack the title formatting, you
should upgrade to the devel-branche, or wait for 2.6.
