      20.228 fo:text-indent

      The fo:text-indent attribute specifies a positive or negative indent for the first line of a paragraph. See §7.15.11 of [XSL]. The attribute value is a length. If the attribute is contained in a common style, the attribute value may be also a percentage that refers to the corresponding text indent of a parent style.

      Description

      The description for fo:text-indent (20.225, part 3, ODF 1.3) refers to §7.15.11 of [XSL], which in turn refers to CSS http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/text.html#propdef-text-indent.
      When you use this attribute with negative value together with fo:margin-left on a paragraph with background color, you will notice, that the colored area is different in text documents compared to rendering in browsers.
      Word, LibreOffice and SoftMaker render the colored area so, that the entire text is included. Browsers (tested Seamonkey and Chrome) render the colored area so, that they take the margin-left value and render part of the first line outside the colored area.
      I suggest to add, that in ODF the outset part is handled as paragraph content area too, in contrast to the rendering of these attribute in a browsers.
