Re: [docbook-apps] TOC label and text spacing

Hi,
I'm not sure I understand the question.  When you say your current 
customization is not right because it "makes the spacing of the text 
relative to the label", I don't have a clear picture of what that means. If 
you consistently use the same provisional-distance-between-starts, then the 
placement should be the same for all entries of the same level, like a table 
column.

Also, you already have a customization that uses fo:list-block. Why can't 
you adapt that customization to use fo:table instead?  Is your goal to put 
all the entries into a single table instead of individual tables per entry?
