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,

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
