XSL-FO Output
XSL-FO defines output inside <fo:flow> elements.
XSL-FO Page, Flow, and Block
"Blocks" of content "Flows" into "Pages" and then to the output media.
XSL-FO output is normally nested inside <fo:block> elements,
nested inside <fo:flow> elements, nested inside <fo:page-sequence> elements:
<fo:page-sequence>
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
<fo:block>
<!-- Output goes here -->
</fo:block>
</fo:flow>
</fo:page-sequence> |
XSL-FO Example
It is time to look at a real XSL-FO example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
<fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="A4">
<fo:region-body />
</fo:simple-page-master>
</fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="A4">
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
<fo:block>Hello W3Schools</fo:block>
</fo:flow>
</fo:page-sequence>
</fo:root> |
The output from this code would be something like this:
