Re: Indention problems with FOP and para inside listitems

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Unfortunately, you can't rely on margin-left to do what you expect in the
current version of FOP.  According to the FOP compliance page:

http://xml.apache.org/fop/compliance.html

the margin-left property is only supported on pages and regions, which makes
it the same as a start-indent.
