I've been able to get the desired effect using margin-left="0.25in" (no
functions) on all nested blocks. The margin is computed from the containing
block, so each nested list-block is indented relative to its parent.

Subject: [xep-support] Nesting indents
I would like to nest indenting for list blocks so that if a list occurs
within a list, the child list gets indented relative to the previous one.
As in,
- List 1 item 1
- List 1 item 2
- List 2 item 1
- List 2 item 2
- List 3 item 1
- List 3 item 2
- List 2 item 3
- List 1 item 3
I have tried to use start-indent to do this as follows:
<fo:list-block
provisional-distance-between-starts="1.15in" text-align="left"
font-size="12pt" line-height="16pt"
start-indent="from-parent(start-indent)+.25in"
provisional-label-separation=".125in"
space-before.optimum="10pt">
however, XEP generates warnings that look like:
{?Bad attribute start-indent: Cannot add type Word to type Length}
which I assume has to do with trying to add the value
from-parent(start-indent) with a length value such as the .25in.
If I use a fixed length here, such as the .25in, I do not get the error
messages. Similarly, I can just use the from-parent(start-indent).
However, in both cases, I do not get the nested indenting that I desire.
It may be that I'm attempting to use the from-parent(start-indent)
incorrectly. Does anyone have a solution for handling the nested indents
(where I don't have to put in fixed values for the subsequent levels of list
blocks)? My list items tend to span more than one line, so I need to
specify an indent for the entire block rather than just the first line.
Thanks!
