Trying the following does not work because the negative value for
text-indent is ignored.
hangingIndent
{
display:block;
/* negative text-indent does not work */
text-indent:-.25in;
padding-left: .25in;
margin: 1.33ex 0;
}
If I use a positive value, then text-indent is applied but that is the
incorrect rendering.
Is there a way to get the CSS to show a hanging indent paragraph?
(We're using version 5.3.0 of XXE.)
There is a bug which causes CSS property text-indent to be ignored when
its value was negative. I mean, as if a negative value was not allowed
by the CSS standard.
This bug is now fixed in the development version of XXE. The bug fix
will be available in the next release of XXE.

I always thought that this limitation was not a bug, but intentional. In
order to properly select elements with a mouse click is seems necessary
that the rendered contents of an element do not extend beyond its bounding box.
Anyway a safe negative indent or padding would be possible to some extent
if they meet some conditions:
margin + padding >= 0
margin + padding + indent >= 0
This bug is now fixed in the development version of XXE. The bug fix will
be available in the next release of XXE.
Glad to ear this.

[XXE] Microsoft vs the world – a tip to help the world fight back
Delivered another DITA document-map as Web Help earlier this week, which pleased the developer involved. The problem we noticed was that none of the SVG graphics displayed correctly; colleague checked and found an answer. Try adding a meta tag to the top of your HTML page to force IE9 mode: I thought I'd mention it here in case it helps anyone else out. En passant, I'm still recommending XML Mind (and DITA for the impatient) to each new colleague I impress with DITA; and enjoying working with the program.
