+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.

+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.

+The XSL FO can be delivered to FOP with XML(XSL FO), XML+XSL or +SAX events. +

+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. +
