    Hello Oliver,

    OK, now I can see the point. You can achieve desired effect using side
    floats as shown in the following code snippet:
    ...
      <fo:block clear="both">And this is the normal text flow of this page.</fo:block>
      <fo:float float="inside">
        <fo:block-container width="100pt" margin="0pt" padding="10pt">
          <fo:block text-align="start">This is text. This is text. This is text. </fo:block>
        </fo:block-container>
      </fo:float>
      <fo:block clear="both">And this is the normal text flow of this page.</fo:block>
      <fo:float float="inside">
        <fo:block-container width="100pt" margin="0pt" padding="10pt">
          <fo:block text-align="start">This is more text. This is more text. This is more text. </fo:block>
        </fo:block-container>
      </fo:float>
      <fo:block clear="both">And this is the normal text flow of this page.</fo:block>
    ...

    Note that 'inside' and 'outside' values of 'float' property are
    Renderx extensions to XSL FO spec.

    OB> Hi Alexander,

    >> We do not plan to support fo:inline-container in the next release.

    OB> what a pity.

    OB> Using one fo:block with text-align="inside" would produce this layout:

    OB> +---------------------+ +---------------------+
    OB> | This is text. This | | This is text. This |
    OB> | is text. This is | | is text. This is |
    OB> | text. This is text. | | text. This is text. |
    OB> +---------------------+ +---------------------+

    OB> That means, the text flow will be aligned to the inner side.
    OB> I want a block whose inner text align is left (start), but the block itself
    OB> should be aligned inside:

    OB> +----- page width ----+ +---------------------+
    OB> | This is more | | This is more |
    OB> | text. This is | | text. This is |
    OB> | more text. | | more text. |
    OB> | | | |
    OB> | And this is the | | |
    OB> | normal text flow of | | |
    OB> | this page. | | |
    OB> +---------------------+ +---------------------+

    OB> I hope you can see what I mean.

    OB> Thanks,
    OB> Oliver
