[xep-support] Leaders with margins

[Peter Drivas]

Gustaf,

You might want to try using the start-indent attribute instead of
margin-left. I needed to extend the rule beyond the body region and used a
negative value. Here's what I did:

		<fo:block >
			<fo:leader
				leader-pattern="rule"
				rule-style="solid"
				leader-length="100%"
				rule-thickness="0.5pt"
				start-indent="-78pt">
			</fo:leader>
		</fo:block>

This bleeds the rule to the end of the page on the left and runs the rule to
the end of the body on the right. It doesn't run into the right margin. Your
command might look like:

		<fo:block >
			<fo:leader
				leader-pattern="rule"
				rule-style="solid"
				leader-length="100%"
				rule-thickness="0.25mm"
				start-indent="15mm">
			</fo:leader>
		</fo:block>

You may need to fine tune the settings, but this might work.

I'm having a problem with margins and leaders:

<!-- Leader -->
<fo:block>
  <fo:leader
    leader-length="100%"
    leader-pattern="rule"
    rule-thickness="0.25mm"
    margin-left="15mm"/>
</fo:block>

This leader is in the body region. XEP appears to calculate the width of the
rule based on the whole width of the body region, and then move it 15 mm to
the right, instead of calculting 100% from what is left of the body region
width when 15 mm has been subtracted. So the result is that the rule goes
from 15 mm right of the left margin to the end of the page (the right margin
is 15 mm too).

I want the leader to go from 15 mm right of the left margin to the right
side of the body region. How do I achieve that?

Gustaf
