[SPAM] title.margin.left = 0pt causes "no meaningful layout" error

["Paul Moloney" <paul_moloney@hotmail.com>]

Does anyone know why setting title.margin.left to a smaller value than, say, 
1pc in your custom layer would suddenly start to cause errors? (it's been 
fine up to now).

The setting is described in more detail at:

http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/fo/title.margin.left.html

The particular setting we use is:

<xsl:param name="title.margin.left">0pt</xsl:param>

as I want to keep the titles flush with the body text.

However, recently FOP generates the following error in fop-processor.log:

[ERROR] 
file:/home/pmoloney/svn/pplus/docs/manuals/target/fo/care_applications_g
uide/care_applications_guide.fo:88:733 No meaningful layout in block after 
many
attempts.  Infinite loop is assumed.  Processing halted.

Removing the above setting, or setting it to -1pc or more solves the 
problem.
