Re: table cell issues

Ken Holman posted a simple example of hanging indents on the Yahoo XSLFO 
group last year.
(XSL-FO@yahoogroups.com).
This is a good source of XSL FO tips.

I don't know how to get the gap at the end of your 1st line.

Use a combination of what is already available to you: indent the entire
block, but outdent the first line using a negative value for your text 
indent.

An example is below.

Sometimes you will not want the values to be equal, for example, if you
wanted the first line indented 1cm and the rest of the lines indented 3cm,
then set the block indent to 3cm and the first line indent to -2cm.

I hope this helps.

<flow flow-name="frame-body" font-family="Times" font-size="20pt">

<block start-indent="1cm" text-indent="-1cm">This is a test
of a block with a very long line that will produce a hanging indent
on the first line because the second and subsequent lines are 
indented.</block>

</flow>
