It's actually not a problem with margins per se. Remember that the
solution I was working on involved creating a template for <section>
that caused it to be rendered as a two-column table, the left column
for an optional icon, and the right for the section content. The
problem arises when a nested section is rendered, because it creates a
nested table, so this:
<section role="something">
S1 content
<section role="somethingelse">
S2 content
</section>
</section>
renders as:
==============================
| | |
| S1 icon | S1 content |
| | |
|----------------------------------------------------
| | | |
| | S2 icon | S2 content |
| | | |
==============================
When what I want is:
==============================
| | |
| S1 icon | S1 content |
| | |
|----------------------------------------------------
| | |
| S2 icon | S2 content |
| | |
==============================
So what I'm looking for is either a way to specify margin graphics
without creating an artificial margin with tables, or to define the
content of a cell in a "top-level" table from the template for an
arbitrarily deep section. Maybe there's a simple xslt trick for doing
this, but so far I haven't found it.
Thanks for all the help so far!
