Hi Thanks for describing your requirements further. Unfortunately I am unaware of a feature within FOP that would provide this functionality at this time.
Blocks extend in the inline direction up to the region extents, but I don't think they have the ability to push back the other way dependant on their content. Your best bet at the moment would be to keep the indentation to a minimum and allow the content to wrap. It would make the document more uniform as the content would be aligned instead of having varying margins which would make it look a bit messy. If you feel it warrants it, you can always raise an issue with FOP to suggest the addition of this functionality in the future [1] [1] https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/ Best Regards, Robert Meyer > Date: Thu, 7 Jun 2012 02:01:45 -0700 > From: lmhe...@orange.fr > To: fop-users@xmlgraphics.apache.org > Subject: RE: Paragraph indentation with no cut lines > > > Hi and thank you for your answers. > > @Robert Meyer > > > Robert Meyer wrote: > > Just to clarify, are you asking for a block to be indented from the left > > but expand back left if the line was too long to fit in the block? > > Almost but not exactly... :) > Let me try to clarify.
