30 <para>This parameter provides
\r
31 the means of indenting the body text relative to
\r
33 For left-to-right text direction, it indents the left side.
\r
34 For right-to-left text direction, it indents the right side.
\r
35 It is used in place of the
\r
36 <parameter>title.margin.left</parameter> for
\r
37 all XSL-FO processors except FOP 0.25.
\r
38 It enables support for side floats to appear
\r
39 in the indented margin area.
\r
41 <para>This start-indent property is added to the fo:flow
\r
42 for certain page sequences. Which page-sequences it is
\r
43 applied to is determined by the template named
\r
44 <literal>set.flow.properties</literal>.
\r
45 By default, that template adds it to the flow
\r
46 for page-sequences using the <quote>body</quote>
\r
47 master-reference, as well as appendixes and prefaces.
\r
49 <para>If this parameter is used, section titles should have
\r
50 a start-indent value of 0pt if they are to be
\r
51 outdented relative to the body text.
\r
54 <para>If you are using FOP, then set this parameter to a zero
\r
55 width value and set the <parameter>title.margin.left</parameter>
\r
56 parameter to the negative value of the desired indent.
\r
59 <para>See also <parameter>body.end.indent</parameter> and
\r
