Examples for the use of xsl:fo can be found in the Fop distribution in the subdirectory xml-fop/docs/examples/fo. You can start transformation of all fo files into pdf files by starting xml-fop/docs/examples/runtests.

At the moment the following files are part of the distribution:

• normal.fo - a very simple file showing the use of a 2 level of headings, normal text and a header.
• table.fo - a simple table
• list.fo - a simple list
• images.fo - shows how to embed gif and jpg images into the xsl:fo file using inline-graphic.
• border.fo - a not so simple example how to use borders in tables
• extensive.fo - a longer test file containing a lot of different flow objects and properties. A good candidate to test your bugfix or new Fop code.

Developers will find the first steps to a test suite for all implemented formatting objects and properties in xml-fop/docs/bugtests.
