Omar,
Reading the spec at [1], start-indent, end-indent and
inline-progression-dimension (=width in context left-to-right) are very
closed, and depend on ancestor reference-area (fo:block produce a
block-area, not a r-a).
You can:
- either use margin/indent properties on fo:block (see Wiki page at [2]
to understand how indents and margins are handled)
- or embed your fo:block in a block-container (witch define a
reference-area):
<xsl:template match="senders">
<fo:block-container space-after="2cm" width="10cm">
<xsl:for-each select="sender">
<xsl:call-template name="sender"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</fo:block-container>
</xsl:template>
