body.start.indent length body.start.indent The start-indent for the body text 0pt 0pt 4pc This parameter provides the means of indenting the body text relative to section titles. For left-to-right text direction, it indents the left side. For right-to-left text direction, it indents the right side. It is used in place of the title.margin.left for all XSL-FO processors except FOP 0.25. It enables support for side floats to appear in the indented margin area. This start-indent property is added to the fo:flow for certain page sequences. Which page-sequences it is applied to is determined by the template named set.flow.properties. By default, that template adds it to the flow for page-sequences using the body master-reference, as well as appendixes and prefaces. If this parameter is used, section titles should have a start-indent value of 0pt if they are to be outdented relative to the body text. If you are using FOP, then set this parameter to a zero width value and set the title.margin.left parameter to the negative value of the desired indent. See also body.end.indent and title.margin.left.
