FOP does not seem to be properly processing the "margin-left"
attribute. an example:
writing in docbook, i frequently have an <orderedlist> or
<admonition> which adds an automatic indent, such as
Tip This would be the text
of the tip ...
or
1. This might be the first question
of the list of exercises...
now, if i *don't* add a margin-left attribute to things like
code sgements, and i put a code segment (like a <screen>) into
that text, it will show up as
Tip Here's a tip that show's some code:
print hello, world ;
IOW, the verbatim element in this case is properly indented to
match the contents of that block.
however, if i add an attribute of "margin-left" of, say, 0.25in,
to indent all my code segments, what i'll get is
Tip Here's a tip ...
print hello, world ;
as you can see, the indentation is applied not relative to the
containing block, but to the left side of the page area (am i
mangling the terminology?)
a colleague tells me he tried the same thing with XEP and it
worked properly. he got
Tip Here's a tip ...
print hello, world ;
^^^
(0.25in indent above)
so XEP gets it right, but FOP doesn't take into account the
immediately containing block.
thoughts?
