# 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>

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

    <fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">

    <fo:layout-master-set>
      <fo:simple-page-master master-name="A4">
        <!-- Page template goes here -->
      </fo:simple-page-master>
    </fo:layout-master-set>

    <fo:page-sequence master-reference="A4">
      <!-- Page content goes here -->
    </fo:page-sequence>

    </fo:root>
