[xep-support] Inconsistent footnote formatting

[Jim Melton]

RenderX,

For over two decades, I have been editing several international 
standards in XML, using XSLT stylesheets to transform that XML into XSL 
FO, and using RenderX XEP to render that XSL FO into PDF.

At some point in the last couple of years (and I apologize that I cannot 
narrow down the timeframe any more precisely), I noticed that a few 
footnotes occasionally get rendered with the footnote number indented 
such that it overlaps the footnote text.

Here are two examples taken from the same document (screen shots of PDF):

The first (correct) example:

The second (incorrect) example:

The XSL FO of the first example is:

<fo:footnote><fo:inline 
font-size="smaller"baseline-shift="super">3</fo:inline><fo:footnote-body><fo:list-block 
provisional-distance-between-starts="16pt"provisional-label-separation="5pt"><fo:list-item><fo:list-item-label 
end-indent="label-end()"><fo:block 
font-size="smaller">3</fo:block></fo:list-item-label><fo:list-item-body 
start-indent="body-start()"><fo:block font-size="smaller">According to 
Wikipedia, a tuple is
a “finite ordered list (sequence) of 
elements”.</fo:block></fo:list-item-body></fo:list-item></fo:list-block></fo:footnote-body></fo:footnote> 


The XSL FO of the second example is:

<fo:footnote><fo:inline 
font-size="smaller"baseline-shift="super">4</fo:inline><fo:footnote-body><fo:list-block 
provisional-distance-between-starts="16pt"provisional-label-separation="5pt"><fo:list-item><fo:list-item-label 
end-indent="label-end()"><fo:block 
font-size="smaller">4</fo:block></fo:list-item-label><fo:list-item-body 
start-indent="body-start()"><fo:block font-size="smaller">In SQL, 
columns can be defined
to prohibit null values, if 
desired.</fo:block></fo:list-item-body></fo:list-item></fo:list-block></fo:footnote-body></fo:footnote> 


I believe that you will see that the two XSL FO examples are essentially 
identical.

Any guidance you can provide to help me resolve this discrepancy in 
formatting would be greatly appreciated.

I think that I'm currently using XEP version 4.28.759

Many thanks!
