Hi Georg
Given this block
<fo:block-container absolute-position="absolute" start-
indent="77.16534pt" background-color="cyan">
<fo:block line-height="1em" span="all" orphans="3" background-

</fo:block>

I get a block-container starting at 0pt, containing a block starting
at 77pt. Which is good.
Seems to be correct, at first glance, although... How wide is your
region-start? IIC, the start-indent should be determined in relation
to the page's start-edge (since the block-container is taken out of
the normal flow).
If it would not be an absolute-positioned block-container, then the
inner block would be offset 2 x 77pt from the start-edge of the region-
body, due to indent inheritance. (the block inherits the computed
value of start-indent from the parent block-container)
see also: http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/IndentInheritance
But why are both blocks
Small question: /both/ blocks? Where's the second?
ending 77pts left of the right page border? It seems like start-
indent is telling the block-container how wide it is.
Indirectly, it should obviously have an impact on how wide the block
can grow.
Could be that you have stumbled upon a bug here, depending on what the
precise result is. If you have a region-start that is roughly 77pt
wide, could be that you get the impression that no indent is applied...
Specifying end-indent is even more funny, an end-indent of 77pt
makes the block end 77pts inside of the container which seems to end
twice 77pts inside of the page...
Same issue, I think. To be certain: can you post the complete
document, including the layout-master-set?
Cheers
