What is the XSL-FO Page, Flow, and Block in XML

Posted in XML | XSL-FO on July 09, 2019

- In this article I will Define the XSL-FO Page, Flow, and Block in XML

"Blocks" of content "Flows" into "Pages" and then to the output media.

XSL-FO output is normally nested inside <fo:block> elements

<fo:block> elements is normally nested inside <fo:flow> elements,

<fo:flow> elements is normally nested inside <fo:page-sequence> elements

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<fo:page-sequence>

<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">

<fo:block>

</fo:block>

</fo:flow>

</fo:page-sequence>

<fo:region-body />

</fo:simple-page-master>

</fo:layout-master-set>

<fo:page-sequence master-reference="A4">

<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
