| <para>This parameter provides |
| the means of indenting the body text relative to |
| section titles. |
| For left-to-right text direction, it indents the left side. |
| For right-to-left text direction, it indents the right side. |
| It is used in place of the |
| <parameter>title.margin.left</parameter> for |
| all XSL-FO processors except FOP 0.25. |
| It enables support for side floats to appear |
| in the indented margin area. |
| </para> |
| <para>This start-indent property is added to the fo:flow |
| for certain page sequences. Which page-sequences it is |
| applied to is determined by the template named |
| <literal>set.flow.properties</literal>. |
| By default, that template adds it to the flow |
| for page-sequences using the <quote>body</quote> |
| master-reference, as well as appendixes and prefaces. |
| </para> |
| <para>If this parameter is used, section titles should have |
| a start-indent value of 0pt if they are to be |
| outdented relative to the body text. |
| </para> |
| |
| <para>If you are using FOP, then set this parameter to a zero |
| width value and set the <parameter>title.margin.left</parameter> |
| parameter to the negative value of the desired indent. |
| </para> |
| |
| <para>See also <parameter>body.end.indent</parameter> and |
| <parameter>title.margin.left</parameter>. |
