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?

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?
