<para>This parameter adjusts the left margin for titles,
effectively leaving the titles at the left
margin and indenting the body text.
The default value is -4pc, which means the
body text is indented 4 picas relative to
the titles.
</para>
<para>
If you set the value to zero, be sure to still include
a unit indicator such as <literal>0pt</literal>, or
the FO processor will report errors.
</para>
<para>
This parameter is set to 0pt if the
<parameter>passivetex.extensions</parameter>
parameter is nonzero because PassiveTeX cannot handle
the math expression with negative values 
used to calculate the indents.
