+ What is XSL (FO)?
+
+XSL is an XML format that is used to specify a pagination and other
+styling for page layout output. XSL can be used in conjunction with
+XSLT to convert from any XML format into a paginated layout ready for
+printing or displaying.
-
-
-
+XSL defines a set of formatting objects in xml that describes the
+way pages are set up. The contents of the pages are filled from
+flows which. There can be static flows that appear on every page
+and the main flow which fills the body of the page.

+ What can I do with FOP?
+
+FOP is an application or library that converts an XSL FO document
+into the paginated output. It is possible to render the output
+to different targets, the main target is PDF. FOP can be run from
+the command line or embedded into your Java application.

+ How do I author XSL documents?
+
+
+Often XSL FO is created from XML and XSLT. There are some
+standard XML markups such as Docbook that can be converted
+into XSL FO and other XML formats.
+
+
+There are some XSL authoring tools that may help you to
+author XSL FO documents or the XML and XSLT documents.

+
+
+ How can I see a demo?

There will be a Java Webstart demo sometime in the future.
+This will use the AWT viewer to display FO documents.
