How can I adjust the left indent of the “Table of Contents” Title line using MATLAB Report Generator R2010b (3.9)?

I have created a report to be generated in PDF format and I have also created a stylesheet to go with it.

I would like to be able to indent the "Table of Contents" title.

I looked at the "TOC Margin Properties" property set but did not find any attribute to indent the title.

Is there a way to do this?

The indentation of the title of the "table of contents" can be modified using the "start-indent" attribute within the "TOC Margin Properties" set in MATLAB Report Generator R2010b (3.9).

These are the steps to follow to include the "Start-Indent" attribute to the "TOC Margin Properties" property set:

1) Open the stylesheet RGS file using a text editor.

2) Find the following code:

              <xsl_code>

3) Include the following lines of code below after the above line

<xsl:template name="table.of.contents.titlepage.recto">

             <fo:block xmlns:fo="<http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"> xsl:use-attribute-sets="table.of.contents.titlepage.recto.style" space-before.minimum="1em" space-before.optimum="1.5em" space-before.maximum="2em" space-after="0.5em" font-size="17.28pt" font-weight="bold" font-family="{$title.fontset}">

                 <xsl:call-template name="gentext">

                     <xsl:with-param name="key" select="'TableofContents'"/>

                 </xsl:call-template>

             </fo:block>

         </xsl:template>

           <xsl:attribute-set name="toc.margin.properties">

              <xsl:attribute name="start-indent">

                 <xsl:value-of select="'0in'"/>

              </xsl:attribute> 

           </xsl:attribute-set>

The 0in in the third line can be modified to required indentation of the title.

4) Save the stylesheet file.

5) Execute the following on the MATLAB command prompt:

          rptconvert -clearcache

6) Generate the report using this modified stylesheet.

Please refer to the stylesheet attached which illustrates the use of the "start-indent" within the "TOC Margin Properties".
