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.
</P>
<P align="left">
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.
</P>
<P align="left">
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.
</P>
<P align="left">
There are some XSL authoring tools that may help you to
author XSL FO documents or the XML and XSLT documents.
