What is XSL-FO?

• XSL-FO is a language for formatting XML data
• XSL-FO stands for Extensible Stylesheet Language Formatting Objects
• XSL-FO is a W3C Recommendation
• XSL-FO is now formally named XSL
  
  
• XSLT, a language for transforming XML documents
• XSL or XSL-FO, a language for formatting XML documents
• XPath, a language for navigating through elements and attributes in XML documents

XSL-FO Documents

XSL-FO documents are XML files with output information. They contain information about the output layout and output contents.

XSL-FO documents are stored in files with a .fo or a .fob file extension. It is also quite common to see XSL-FO documents stored with an .xml extension, because this makes them more accessible to XML editors.

inline	Formats a part of a text with a background or enclosing it in a border
inline-container	Defines an inline reference-area
instream-foreign-object	Used for inline graphics or for "generic" objects where the object's data resides as descendants of <fo:instream-foreign-object>

root	The root (top) node for XSL-FO documents
simple-page-master	Defines the size and shape of a page
single-page-master-reference	Specifies a page-master to be used at a given point in the sequence of pages
