I'm trying to figure out what the indent of the orange block under the block-container may be, or rather if our current implementation is really ok. It's clear that for the yellow block start-indent is 10pt.
5.3.2 says for FOs that don't generate a reference area (ex. fo:block) the following is true: start-indent = inherited_value_of(start-indent) + margin-corresponding + padding-corresponding + border-corresponding-width start-indent = 10pt = 10pt + 0pt + 0pt + 0pt For the block-container a different rule applies because it generates a reference area: start-indent = margin-corresponding + padding-corresponding + border-corresponding-width start-indent = 0pt = 0pt + 0pt + 0pt Then for the orange block the first formula is used again: start-indent= 0pt = 0pt + 0pt + 0pt + 0pt Now, it's interesting to note that XEP and AltSoft interpret this differently. XEP indents the orange block by 10pt while AltSoft indents it by 20pt. You could also note that start-indent is specified as "Inherited: yes" which somewhat contradicts the second formula above. XEP seems to use the inherited start-indent for the block-container. AltSoft seems to do the same and even does the same for the orange block although rendering then orients itself on the reference area established by the block-container, thus indenting the orange block by 20pt. AltSoft is certainly wrong. The question is if XEP is right. :-) I googled a bit and indeed, there seems be a certain amount of confusion how this should be handled. Any thoughts?
