Using spaces for alignment is only accurate with a monospace font. You'll find that "10." will not line up with "20." To get a true alignment, you would need to use an fo:table with two columns and text-align="end" in the first column, or an fo:list-block with text-align="end" in the fo:list-item-label. Each toc line can be in its own fo:list-block as long as the provisional-distance-between-starts property is consistent across them. To get you started, there is an example of fo:list-block in my book:

I use a figure list in my document, but there's one small thing that annoys me. The alignment of the separator is wrong. That's how it looks right now: 8. Data access ........................................................................................................ 24 9. Overview of the front-end componenents and their dependencies ...................................... 25 10. The model-view-controller pattern of the default statistics module ................................... 27 That's how it should look: 8. Data access ........................................................................................................ 24 9. Overview of the front-end componenents and their dependencies ...................................... 25 10. The model-view-controller pattern of the default statistics module ................................... 27 I customized the toc.line template like this(only the part where the number gets formatted) <fo:basic-link internal-destination="{$id}"> <xsl:if test="$label != ''"> <xsl:if test="$label < '10'"> <fo:inline color="#FFFFFF"><xsl:text>_</xsl:text></fo:inline> <xsl:copy-of select="$label"/> <xsl:value-of select="$autotoc.label.separator"/> </xsl:if> <xsl:if test="$label > '9'"> <xsl:copy-of select="$label"/> <xsl:value-of select="$autotoc.label.separator"/> </xsl:if> </xsl:if> <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="title.markup"/> </fo:basic-link> This works, but I'm sure there must be a better solution J. Thanks in advance, Mathias
