You can define the occurrence of 'p' and 'li' elements in CSS. Add the
following fragment to your CSS stylesheet.
p, li {
font-size: 95%;
margin-left:10px;
margin-right:0px;
text-indent:0px;
}
'margin-left' is what you have to modify. Note that, if 'p' and 'li'
elements are already defined in you CSS stylesheet, you can easily append
'margin-left:10px;' to their declaration and ignore others.

Norm specifies a spacer image (using XSL, e.g. in your 'tabular.xsl') in a
table 'td' along with a 'width' attribute. Having said that, the usage of
CSS when the result is identical to what XSL performs is always the superior
solution.
