I'm making some progress on this.
I've customized the toc.line template, replacing the fo:block by fo:list-block. While I am now seeing the alignment I want I am not getting any indentation. The original form of toc.line does show indentation. I haven't customized any mode="toc" templates so the calling and use of set.toc.indent has not changed but the indentation is not working now the toc.lines are using list-blocks. Does anyone have any idea what might be missing. Regards, Richard. I'm using Fop-1.1 for th FO-PDF conversion.

If you want to pursue a customization, I can give some guidance. There are two levels of formatting in the FO table of contents: mode="toc" and toc.line. The document hierarchy is processed in mode="toc", and there are templates matching on different hierarchical elements in that mode (all in fo/autotoc.xsl). Each of those templates does the following: 1. It calls the toc.line template to generate the text, leader, and page reference for the current element. 2. If the element has TOC children, it also creates an fo:block, adds an indent by calling the template named 'set.toc.indent' (here 'set' is a verb, not a noun), and processes those children inside that indented block, in mode="toc". If you have examined the toc.line template, you may have noticed that it starts with: <fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="toc.line.properties"> So all the toc.lines use the same attribute set. The differences occur in the outer container block for the group of children, where the indent for the whole set is added. To accomplish the "tabbed" look you want, you can change the fo:block in toc.line to fo:list-block, which is like a two-column table. You put the label in the fo:list-item-label, and the title, leader, and page reference in the fo:list-item-body. This section in my book shows how to set up such an element: http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/SideBySide.html The trick is to match the relative indent of the fo:list-item-body with the relative indent of any child elements. That way, the children that follow have their section number (in their list-item-label) indented the same amount as the parent's title (in its list-item-body). As Jan pointed out, one thing you have to be aware of is that those indents now have to be wide enough to accomodate the widest section number, or the widest ones will wrap badly. Making the matching indents wider as you go deeper is possible by modifying the 'set.toc.indent' template to make it wider for greater depth. And the mode="toc" templates need to do the same thing. To get different font styles for different levels, you could add a mode to generate attribute elements: <fo:list-block ...> <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="toc.line.properties"/> <fo:list-item> and then add templates for each element, specifying its own attribute elements: <xsl:template match="d:chapter" mode="toc.line.properties"> <xsl:attribute ...> <xsl:attribute ...> </xsl:template> Using a mode avoids the problem of conditionalizing attribute-sets, which is difficult.

The document is an <article>. I'm generally copying the formatting of an existing set of Word documents. In particular at the moment I'm looking at the appearance of the ToC pages. In the standard stylesheets, each line of ToC is generated looking rather like this : 1. Overview .......................................................................................... 3 2. Description ....................................................................................... 3 3. Applicable Documents ......................................................................... 3 4. Configuration procedure ...................................................................... 3 5. Starting up ....................................................................................... 3 5.1. Dependencies .......................................................................... 3 5.1.1. Level 3 Heading ............................................................. 3 6. Features .......................................................................................... 3 6.1. Diagnostics .............................................................................. 4 6.2. Test procedures ....................................................................... 4 7. Known Issues ................................................................................... 5 8. Version History ................................................................................. 5 ie the title string is immediately followed by the leader. No difference in styling. (the page numbers are aligned in the PDF document, even though they may not be here. The apearance I am looking for is more like the following : Contents ..................................................................................................... 1<about:blank#_Toc354480557> 1 Overview. ................................................................................................ 4<about:blank#_Toc354480558> 1.1 Description. ................................................................................... 4<about:blank#_Toc354480559> 1.2 Device firmware version. .................................................................. 4<about:blank#_Toc354480560> 1.3 Configuration. ................................................................................ 4<about:blank#_Toc354480561> 1.3.1 The v1/v2 Location .......................................................................... 4<about:blank#_Toc354480562> 1.3.2 The V3 Location ............................................................................ 5<about:blank#_Toc354480563> 1.3.3 The V4 Location ............................................................................ 5<about:blank#_Toc354480564> 1.4 Driver compatibility. ........................................................................ 5<about:blank#_Toc354480565> 1.5 Version. ....................................................................................... 5<about:blank#_Toc354480566> 1.5.1 Automatic Shutdown on Closing. ........................................................ 5<about:blank#_Toc354480567> 1.6 Messaging System – If32.dll. ............................................................. 5<about:blank#_Toc354480568> Again the page numbers should appear lined up. Not sure if the rest of this will come through on this list. The different section levels should have different styles. The particular requirements here are : 1. Section numbers at each level are aligned. 2. Headings at each level are alligned. 3. Headings and section numbers at each level have different styles. Can the styling can be done using existing attribute sets ? I can see that such attibute sets exist for the actual section titles, but I can't see any for the titles as shown in the ToC. I am not sure how I can do the alignment. I was thinking it might be doable using an fo:table, but there are a number of separate alignment lines (columns) so that doesn't seem to me like a table. I see that the default stylesheet does start each level at the same alignment. But that only applies to the section numbers. The title text starts immediately after the number, where I want that text also to be on a per-level alignment. Can anyone advise how I should approach this. I believe the per-line formatting is done by template toc.line, from fo/autotoc.xsl. But I'm not clear where the page is generated from. Appreciatively, Richard.
