It can be done with leaders but would rely on a hack using use-content for leader pattern (the leader will hold the Title's label, not go after it); it is probably not what you want if you want compability among procesors, or predictability at least. Another approach would be to use a list for each title; it is the simplest way to display two inlines aligned vertically with fixed horizontal offsets. <list-block> <list-item provisional-label-separation="1em" provisional-distance-between-starts="8em"> <list-item-label end-indent="label-end()"> <para>1.</para> </list-item-label> <list-item-body start-indent="body-start()"> <para>Title 1</para> </list-item-body> </list-item> </list-block> I hope I haven't made too much typing errors in the code.
