Alignment issue

Hi,

I have a problem of aligmnemt and I don't find how to solve it with FOP. I have something like:

Article 1            Title 
                     sub-title a
                     sub-tiltle b

or 

Article 1.1.1.1.1.1 Title 
                    sub-title a
                    sub-tiltle b


Title and subtitles should be align. My problem I can't have a dynamic space between number and Title according text length use by 1 or 1.1.1.1.
I tried:
- List with attribut provisional-distance-between-starts but the space is fixed so the render isn't very nice
- Table is the same problem because table-layout accept only fixed
- A solution using <block intrusion-displace="block"> and <float> but tag and properties aren't implemented in FOP

Any suggestion how to solve that problem using FOP ?

Thanks 

Willy

Both a list or a table should do the trick. E.g
  <fo:table table-layout="fixed">
    <fo:table-column column-width="4cm"/>
    <fo:table-column column-width="4cm"/>
    <fo:table-body>
      <fo:table-row>
        <fo:table-cell>
          <fo:block>Article 1</fo:block>
        <fo:table-cell>
        <fo:table-cell>
          <fo:block>Title</fo:block>
          <fo:block>sub-title a</fo:block>
          <fo:block>sub-title b</fo:block>
        </fo:table-cell>
      </fo:table-row>
    </fo:table-body>
  </fo:table>
I'm not sure why you think you need "a dynamic space between number and
Title". Somehow your problem description is inconsistent, could you
explain again?
