The document contains static areas -that appear on every page, an external graphic in this case an svg document. -There is a footnote on the first page and a table that goes across both pages. -</p> -<p> -The advantage of XSL is the ability to take an XML document and to format -the information into a page layout. The XML document can be generated -in any way, the most common would be to use XSLT. FOP takes the XML -and formats the data into pages.
