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

Exari SignatureIf you don't object to what some might call an XSL-FO hack,
this method seems to work.

<fo:block space-before="12pt"
keep-with-next.within-column="always">9.</fo:block>
<fo:block space-before="-1.2em" space-before.precedence="force"
text-indent="36pt"><fo:inline
font-weight="bold">Confidentiality.</fo:inline> Each party must hold
Protected Information of the other party in confidence and must only
use or disclose that Protected Information in accordance with this
agreement.
</fo:block>
<fo:block space-before="12pt"
keep-with-next.within-column="always">10.</fo:block>
<fo:block space-before="-1.2em" space-before.precedence="force"
text-indent="36pt"><fo:inline font-weight="bold">Permitted Use and
Disclosure.</fo:inline> Permitted Use and Disclosure. Each party may use and
copy the other party's Protected Information for the Permitted
Purpose and may share that information with its directors, officers,
employees and professional advisers who have a need
to know the information for the Permitted Purpose, provided that any such
person is under confidentiality obligations equivalent to the
those set out in this agreement. Each party must record the full name of any
person to whom it discloses the other party's
Protected Information and must promptly provide those names to the other
party on request.
</fo:block>

It puts the number in a block, and the paragraph in a second block with
text-indent. Then it uses a negative space-before on the second block to
backspace up to line them up. A keep-with-next keeps them together across
page breaks. You will need to adjust the negative space-before amount to
match the current line spacing. Since the blocks overlap, the first block
should never contain more text than fits into the second block's
text-indent, or some of it will be overwritten.

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.
