    I am writing a style sheet that builds FO for text and code listings.

    I have the vertical (block on top of block) spacing working. I have
    added a different background color for the code area.

    However, I cannot figure out how to have the code block indented.

    For example:

    +----------------+
    | Text is fine. It lines |
    | up correctly. |
    +----------------+
         +------------+
         | code should |
         | indent. |
         +------------+

    What happens is the code block is the same width as the text block.

    I have tried adding a border, but that just pushed out to the left. I
    tried padding-start, that pushed the starting point of the code to the
    right, but that kept the block the same size (and therefore the
    background color spanning the page).

    What I need is to start the block a specific distance from the left.

    How do I achieve an indented block?

    Regards,

    Randy
