I would like to nest indenting for list blocks so that if a list occurs
within a list, the child list gets indented relative to the previous
one. As in,<br>
<br>
- List 1 item 1<br>
- List 1 item 2<br>
- List 2 item 1<br>
- List 2 item 2<br>
- List 3
item 1<br>
- List 3
item 2<br>
- List 2 item 3<br>
- List 1 item 3<br>
<br>
I have tried to use start-indent to do this as follows:<br>
<font face="Courier New, Courier"><fo:list-block <br>
provisional-distance-between-starts="1.15in"
text-align="left" <br>
font-size="12pt" line-height="16pt"
<br>
start-indent="from-parent(start-indent)+.25in"
<br>
provisional-label-separation=".125in"<br>
space-before.optimum="10pt"><br>
<br>
</font>however, XEP generates warnings that look like:<br>
<font face="Courier New, Courier">{?Bad attribute start-indent: Cannot
add type Word to type Length}<br>
</font>which I assume has to do with trying to add the value
from-parent(start-indent) with a length value such as the .25in.<br>
<br>
If I use a fixed length here, such as the .25in, I do not get the error
messages. Similarly, I can just use the
from-parent(start-indent). However, in both cases, I do not get the
nested indenting that I desire. <br>
<br>
It may be that I'm attempting to use the from-parent(start-indent)
incorrectly. Does anyone have a solution for handling the nested
indents (where I don't have to put in fixed values for the subsequent
levels of list blocks)? My list items tend to span more than one
line, so I need to specify an indent for the entire block rather than
just the first line.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
