XSL-FO and XSLT
XSL-FO and XSLT can help each other.
Remember this Example?
<fo:block
font-size="14pt" font-family="verdana" color="red"
space-before="5mm" space-after="5mm">
W3Schools
</fo:block>
<fo:block
text-indent="5mm"
font-family="verdana" font-size="12pt">
At W3Schools you will find all the Web-building tutorials you
need, from basic HTML and XHTML to advanced XML, XSL, Multimedia and WAP.
</fo:block> |
Result:
W3Schools
At W3Schools you will find all the Web-building
tutorials you need, from basic HTML and XHTML to advanced XML, XSL, Multimedia and WAP.

The example above is from the chapter about XSL-FO Blocks.
With a Little Help from XSLT
Remove the XSL-FO information from the document:
<header>W3Schools</header>
<paragraph>At W3Schools you will find all the Web-building tutorials you
need, from basic HTML and XHTML to advanced XML, XSL, Multimedia and WAP.
</paragraph> |
Add an XSLT transformation:
<xsl:template match="header">
<fo:block
font-size="14pt" font-family="verdana" color="red"
space-before="5mm" space-after="5mm">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="paragraph">
<fo:block
text-indent="5mm"
font-family="verdana" font-size="12pt">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</fo:block>
</xsl:template> |
And the result will be the same:
W3Schools
At W3Schools you will find all the Web-building
tutorials you need, from basic HTML and XHTML to advanced XML, XSL, Multimedia and WAP.
