RE: Filling space with a character

...however, it cannot cope with variable lengths on the right hand side,
unless I'm being fooled by a bug in Fop.

I can see how to use <fo:leader> to get dots to go from the and of a block
to a fixed location, but how to you vary the location according to the
length of the information on the right hand side of the index?

i.e. how would you create the following tidily?

        left left left .....................................right right
right
        left........................................................right
right right
        left left left
......................................................... right
