    I can't comment to that, I can only comment on the example you posted to
    the list that I cut and pasted into a file on my system and the behaviour
    of both XEP and AntennaHouse on your example ... both processors don't
    indent without that property, and both do indent with the property.

    And when I researched that part of my book I found I needed that property
    ... you'll note in the free download excerpt from our web site that the
    markup listings are all properly indented ... using those properties. Page
    37 of the excerpt has an example.
