The XML Flow Objects Language

XSL-FO is a page markup language represented in an XML document. Documents in XSL-FO format are processed by an XSL-FO service which generates PDF, Postscript, HTML, plain-text or other pages rendered according to the XSL-FO specification.

XSL-FO is provided as an optional install module. It is a service accessed with an operand parameter referencing the XSL-FO markup instructions and an operator parameter referencing a canonical XML document specifying the output format.

active:xslfo-fop+operand@{xslfo-document}+operator@{output-specification}

The result of the XSL-FO process is a new resource which can be mapped to a URI address. Pipelined transforms make it easy to create filters, generate views on data, or style data for presentation.
