XSL-FO root Object
Definition and Usage
The <fo:root> object is the root (top) node for XSL-FO documents.
The children of the
<fo:root> object are a single <fo:layout-master-set> object (which holds all
masters used in the document), an
optional <fo:declarations> object, and one or more <fo:page-sequence> objects.
Note: An XSL-FO document can contain multiple <fo:page-sequences>
(e.g. each chapter of a document could be a separate <fo:page-sequence> - this
would allow chapter-specific content, such as the chapter title, to be placed
within the header or footer).
Syntax
<fo:root>
<!--
Children:layout-master-set,declarations?,
page-sequence+
-->
</fo:root>
