# XSL-FO Output

XSL-FO defines output inside <fo:flow> elements.

## XSL-FO Page, Flow, and Block

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

XSL-FO output is normally nested inside <fo:block> elements, nested inside <fo:flow> elements, nested inside <fo:page-sequence> elements:

    <fo:page-sequence>
      <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
        <fo:block>
          <!-- Output goes here -->
        </fo:block>
      </fo:flow>
    </fo:page-sequence>

## XSL-FO Example

It is time to look at a real XSL-FO example:

    <?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">
        <fo:region-body />
      </fo:simple-page-master>
    </fo:layout-master-set>

    <fo:page-sequence master-reference="A4">
      <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
        <fo:block>Hello W3Schools</fo:block>
      </fo:flow>
    </fo:page-sequence>

    </fo:root>

The output from this code would be something like this:

Hello W3Schools
