RE: increasing indent

sorry to be somewhat inexplicitly -- i guess the following example explains 
better what i want:

sth like

<fo:block margin-left="0.5in">
foobar-1
   <fo:block margin-left="0.5in">
foobar-2
     <fo:block margin-left="0.5in">
foobar-3
     </fo:block>
   </fo:block>
</fo:block>


should render as:

foobar-1
    foobar-2
       foobar-3

not (as it does right now):

foobar-1
foobar-2
foobar-3


now we're in, david
