<div class="refsection"><a name="idp5721072"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>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
<a href="../fo/title.margin.left.html"><em class="parameter"><code>title.margin.left</code></em></a> for
all XSL-FO processors except FOP 0.25.
It enables support for side floats to appear
in the indented margin area.
</p>
<p>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
<code class="literal">set.flow.properties</code>.
By default, that template adds it to the flow
for page-sequences using the <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">body</span>”</span>
master-reference, as well as appendixes and prefaces.
</p>
<p>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.
</p>
<p>If you are using FOP, then set this parameter to a zero
width value and set the <a href="../fo/title.margin.left.html"><em class="parameter"><code>title.margin.left</code></em></a>
parameter to the negative value of the desired indent.
</p>
<p>See also <a href="../fo/body.end.indent.html"><em class="parameter"><code>body.end.indent</code></em></a> and
<a href="../fo/title.margin.left.html"><em class="parameter"><code>title.margin.left</code></em></a>.
