XML Training: Introductions to the Standards

Introduction to XSL-FO

(1-day hands-on introduction to XSL-FO)

XSL-FO (Extensible Stylesheet Language Formatting Objects) is a non-procedural language for formatting XML documents for page presentation.

As either a stand-alone class or 1-day add-on to the XSLT/XPath class, this course introduces the principles and practice of using formatting objects. Participants learn how to put content into page regions and format it, and how to define page regions such as headers, footers, and margins. We discuss XSL-FO’s relationship to XSLT as participants process XML through XSLT first to XSL-FO and then from XSL-FO to pages.

Prerequisites: Participants need to have a working knowledge of XSLT and XPath, or to have completed an XSLT course.

Price: $500/student.
