Indents showing as outdents #55

Open LucasHorseshoeBend opened 2 years ago

LucasHorseshoeBend commented 2 years ago

I have noticed in a couple of places that indents in paragraphs, in both the letter style and footnotes, are showing without the indent, and indeed may be out-dented. See, for example of the effect in the letter style, http://vmcp.conaltuohy.com/xtf/view?docId=tei/Mueller letters/1860-9/1863/63-00-00-final.xml

I can't quickly find an example with the effect in the footnotes, but I'll let you know when I find one.

This is still a problem in XProc

I can't put a word file here as .doc This is what happens when I try to put in a .docx version; The formatting at risk is lost when pasted in Items 1 and 2 were supposed to have text under line one in each case indented as far as in item 3 which is a separate paragraph with the content produced by a tab

This is a trivial example, but there are others which I will look for later that are more important, especially in footnotes. But the way footnotes are presented in XProc might have different effects.

I have now found a more serious example in the footnotes of M64-02-22, where indents were used to indicate long quotes. In note 5 the paragraphs beginning with "such permission...; "The intention of a Foreign... are indented. The way these paragraphs are introduced perhaps indicates what is quoted. But in note 9 the first quotation is two paragraphs, although once again the nature of the note is probably sufficient for a careful reader. But I am not confident that that will always be the case.

If the files with indents can be easily identified as a Feature in the XTF, and there are not too many, I could amend them editorially.
