<para>The inner page margin is the distance from bound edge of the
page to the outer edge of the first column of text.</para>

<para>In left-to-right text direction,
this is the left margin of recto (front side) pages.
For single-sided output, it is the left margin
of all pages.</para>

<para>In right-to-left text direction,
this is the right margin of recto pages.
For single-sided output, this is the
right margin of all pages.</para>

<note>
<para>Current versions (at least as of version 4.13)
of the XEP XSL-FO processor do not
correctly handle these margin settings for documents
with right-to-left text direction.
The workaround in that situation is to reverse
the values for <parameter>page.margin.inner</parameter>
and <parameter>page.margin.outer</parameter>, until
this bug is fixed by RenderX.  It does not affect documents
with left-to-right text direction.</para>
