After some experimenting (and moderate gnashing of teeth), I created this
solution, based on the example in faq 62, "Using roles to select fonts for
PDF".
Create a custom xsl wrapper called for example customfop.xsl, like this:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";>
<xsl:import href="C:/Asciidoc/asciidoc-8.6.7/docbook-xsl/fo.xsl"/>
<xsl:template match="simpara[@role='indented']">
<fo:block start-indent="3em">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
You will need to modify the path of the xsl:import to match your
environment. Then run a2x like this (windows example):
python a2x.py -f pdf --fop --xsl-file=customfop.xsl input.txt
This gives you a solution that works with the same markup in asciidoc html,
docbook html (& htmlhelp & chunked), and fop pdf.
Perhaps this or something like this could be included in faq 33 on indented
paragraphs. Or why not include this in the distributed dokbook-xsl/fo.xsl.
If all the role based solutions in faq 33 were included in the standard
distribution, the faq could be one line, explaining to use
[role="indented"].
