Hi, Just to clarify, are you asking for a block to be indented from the left but expand back left if the line was too long to fit in the block? e.g.
+----------------------------------+ |<--> Indentation | | | | | This us a small line. | This is a longer line that fits. | Here is a long line that | exceeds the full width of a | page. | | | | | +----------------------------------+ If so, I am not sure that is possible with FOP at present. I suppose if you had a fixed sized font (Courier), you could implement some XSLT to write each block and determine it's indentation based upon the length of the text (content) being written. This will not work though with any variable sized font, so unless anyone else has any suggestions I think you may need to think again about how you are writing your content to the page. Let me know if I have misunderstood.
