PropertyList().get(Constants.PR_START_INDENT) gets the computed value, that is, the value after property refinement. It is not the raw value stated in the FO file; FOP does not store that at all. FOP tries to do property refinement immediately. If that is not possible because the computed value depends on a trait of an area, FOP stores an expression, which can be computed at layout time. I see no mention in section 5 of the spec that the trait value for start-indent is different from the computed property value. Regards, Simon -- Simon Pepping home page: http://www.leverkruid.nl
