Indenting of tables

[Nick Hunt <nick@magmouse.demon.co.uk>]

Hi All,

I am using XSL 1.63.1 stylesheets with xsltproc and FOP (latest 
versions).

I want to have smaller tables indented into the text, so:

bodytext bodytext bodytext
bodytext bodytext bodytext
           table table
           table table
           table table
bodytext bodytext bodytext
bodytext bodytext bodytext

I have tried a customised template that sets the <xsl:attribute 
name="margin-left"> value in the <fo:block> that contains the table, 
using the table's role attribute to mark tables that are narrow enough 
to be indented and fit on the page.

The result is that the text is offset within each cell of the table, 
while the borders of the table are not moved.

I then get huge numbers of

      area contents overflows area in line

errors.

Any thoughts on how to achieve this?
