Align text to multiple margins

[Brandon Nason]

For the headers in my document I want to have the section Number aligned at 0.5" and the Title aligned at 1.0" how do I do this?

If you use block, you can state exactly where you want the alignment.
         <fo:block-container
              absolute-postion="absolute"
              left="1in">
              <fo:block>
                  <.........rest of the stuff>
              </fo:block>
         </fo:block-container>

Hope this helps.

Maybe I'm not seeing it but I don't think that is what I want. Let me explain better. Before each paragraph of text I want a single line that says "1.0         Title" When I ran the code you gave me it put all of them at the top of the document and not right above the paragraph its supposed to be over. Here is an example of what I want

1.0     Title
          Here is the start of the paragraph.
2.0     Title 2
  2.1   Title 2.1
          Paragraph for section 2.1

I have some info which I think will display as you had stated.  I am needing to get a couple of things taken care of before I can respond with all of the detail. It will most likely be tomorrow.   Sorry for the delay.

I don't know if you have the book titled XSL Formatting Objects - Developer's Handbook by Doug Lovell.  This is an excellent book for giving examples of the different types of formatting.  I will be contacting you later today to send you some info.
Thanks,

No, I don't have that book, but I may purchase it in the future. Thanks for the help!
