Attention is paid to the layout master set and the different page master that can be chosen.
Also the difference between static content and page flow content is discussed.
The use of many elements and and attributes of the XSL-FO language is treated in detail. Both open source tools and XML Spy are used for the delivery of this course.
The course XSL-FO is intended for designers who want to learn about the formatting of XML and layout of documents with XSL-FO.
