I think what you want is to use a 2-column table to achieve this effect.
My understanding is that "tab" is short for "table" or "tabular", and
that it is a typewriter convention that was used to simulate tables.
HTML does not have a tab concept, and I don't think XSL-FO does either.
Instead you have real tables.

Well, I´ve been introduced recently in this topic and have not very much
experience. But I can suggest an idea:
<fo:leader leader-pattern="use-content" leader-length="xxx">
text
</fo:leader>
text
It should make the distance between the starting point of the text1 and
the next text2 to be xxx.
The only (only??) problem is that it can´t be displayed using the
present version of FOP. I don´t know if it will bother you.
I expect that can help you.
Ivan.

Dear Ivan,
I'm doing a alphapitacl list, but I'm not using the usual order of the
characters , so the list-block does not match my situation.
I'm using <xsl:number> to make my list , so I want to make a tab between
the number[or character] and the begining of the text .
