Re: [docbook-apps] toc.margin.properties, end-indent, no affect

There are a couple of ways to handle lots and tocs differently.  Since you 
are already customizing the toc.line template, you could make the 
start-indent attribute conditional.  The context node when toc.line is 
called is the element whose title is being formatted.  So you could do 
something like this:

  <fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="toc.line.properties"
            end-indent="{$toc.indent.width}pt"
            last-line-end-indent="-{$toc.indent.width}pt">
    <xsl:if test="self::figure or self::table or self::example or 
self::equation or self::procedure">
      <xsl:attribute name="start-indent">0pt</xsl:attribute>
    </xsl:if>

I also noticed that autotoc.xsl calls toc.line using this simple template 
for figures, etc:

<xsl:template match="figure|table|example|equation|procedure" mode="toc">
  <xsl:call-template name="toc.line"/>
</xsl:template>

You could wrap that call in another block with the start-indent:

<xsl:template match="figure|table|example|equation|procedure" mode="toc">
  <fo:block start-indent="0pt">
    <xsl:call-template name="toc.line"/>
  </fo:block>
</xsl:template>
