List Formatting Object Tree

Impact of start-indent on list-item-body

Area Model of List Item, Label and Body

Takeaways:

• A table formatting object tree starts with a "list-block", which contains a "list-item" list.
• A "list-item" is made of a "list-item-label" and a "list-item-body".
• "list-item-body" is overlapped with "list-item-label" by default.
• list-item-body[@start-indent] attribute must be used to push "list-item-body" over to the right.
