Re: [xep-support] Numbered paragraph with first line indent

Hi,

Unfortunately when I tried this (line-height="1") the number is misaligned with the text that follows it on the same line. It does fix the second line issue being indented.

The leader approach does not work when you don't know if the number will be 9 or 10 (i.e. the first line will be one character out)
Thanks for pointing out why the inline-container approach was not working.

We can't find a reliable way to get this working! There must be a way as I would have thought that this situation comes up reasonably regularly.

Here's some FO with the line-height set:

    <fo:block>

        <fo:block background-color="transparent" color="black" font-family="Times New Roman, Times, Symbol, serif" font-size="12pt" font-weight="normal" intrusion-displace="none" line-height="120%" margin-left="0in" margin-right="0in" space-after="12pt" space-before="0in" text-align="left">

          <fo:float float="start">

            <fo:block-container width="1in">

              <fo:block color="black" font-family="Times New Roman, Times, Symbol, serif" font-size="12pt" font-weight="normal" keep-together.within-page="auto" line-height="1" margin-bottom="0pt" margin-left="0.5in" margin-right="0pt" space-after="0pt" text-align="left" text-indent="0pt">9.</fo:block>

            </fo:block-container>

          </fo:float>Publicity.  No party will disclose the existence or terms of this Agreement without prior written consent or unless required by law or court order.</fo:block>

      </fo:block>

      <fo:block>

        <fo:block background-color="transparent" color="black" font-family="Times New Roman, Times, Symbol, serif" font-size="12pt" font-weight="normal" intrusion-displace="none" line-height="120%" margin-left="0in" margin-right="0in" space-after="12pt" space-before="0in" text-align="left">

          <fo:float float="start">

            <fo:block-container width="1in">

              <fo:block color="black" font-family="Times New Roman, Times, Symbol, serif" font-size="12pt" font-weight="normal" keep-together.within-page="auto" line-height="1" margin-bottom="0pt" margin-left="0.5in" margin-right="0pt" space-after="0pt" text-align="left" text-indent="0pt">10.</fo:block>

            </fo:block-container>

          </fo:float>

          <fo:inline font-size="12pt" font-weight="bold" text-decoration="underline">General.</fo:inline>

        </fo:block>

      </fo:block>

Regards,
Justin.

sure enough, adding the following to the block prevents the second line from going

"allows the second line to go"

to the start edge:

   line-height="1"

As I suspected, the leading of the block inside of the float is big enough to trigger the apparent indentation of the second line.  By removing the leading (using a line height scalar value), there is now room for the second line to go to the edge.
