What You Should Already Know
你应该已经知道的知识
Before you study XSL-FO you should have a basic understanding of XML and XML Namespaces.
在学习XSL-FO之前你应该对XML和XML名称空间有基本的了解
If you want to study these subjects first, please read our XML Tutorial.
如果你想先学习这些，请阅读我们的.XML 教程.
What is XSL-FO?
什么是XSL-FO？
- XSL-FO is a language for formatting XML data
XSL-FO是用语格式化XML数据的语言 - XSL-FO stands for Extensible Stylesheet Language Formatting Objects
XSL-FO全称为Extensible Stylesheet Language Formatting Objects （格式化对象的可扩展样式表语言） - XSL-FO is a W3C Recommendation
XSL-FO是W3C参考标准 - XSL-FO is now formally named XSL
XSL-FO现在通常叫做XSL
XSL-FO is About Formatting
XSL-FO用于格式化
XSL-FO is an XML-based markup language describing the formatting of XML data for output to screen, paper or other media.
XSL是一种以XML为基础的标记语言，它对输出到屏幕、纸张或其它媒体上的XML数据的格式化作了具体的描述。
XSL-FO is Formally Named XSL
XSL-FO现在通常叫做XSL
Why this confusion? Is XSL-FO and XSL the same thing?
XSL-FO和 XSL是相同的东西吗？为什么会这样的混淆？
Yes it is, but we will give you an explanation:
的确是这样，可以给出这样的解释：
Styling is both about transforming and formatting information. When the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) made their first XSL Working Draft, it contained the language syntax for both transforming and formatting XML documents.
样式化包括信息的转换和格式化。当万维网联盟（W3C）做出第一份XSL工作草案时，它囊括了XML文档的转换和格式化的语法。
Later, the XSL Working Group at W3C split the original draft into separate Recommendations:
后来，W3C的XSL工作组把原草案分成了以下几块参考标准：
- XSLT, a language for transforming XML documents
XSLT，用于转换XML文档的语言 - XSL or XSL-FO, a language for formatting XML documents
XSL 或 XSL-FO，用于格式化XML文档的一种语言 - XPath, a language for navigating through elements and attributes in XML documents
XPath,用于在XML文档中对元素和属性进行操作的语言
The rest of this tutorial is about formatting XML documents: XSL-FO, also called XSL.
指南剩下部分是关于格式化XML文档的：XSL-FO，也称作XSL
You can read more about XSLT in our XSLT Tutorial.
在我们的XSLT 教程中你可以了解更多关于XSLT
You can read more about XPath in our XPath Tutorial.
在我们的XPath 教程中你可以了解更多关于 XPath.
XSL-FO is a Web Standard
XSL-FO是网络标准
XSL-FO became a W3C Recommendation 15. October 2001. Formally named XSL.
2001年10月15日，XSL-FO已经成为了W3C的参考标准。它通常被称作XSL。

XSL-FO文档是含有输出信息的XML文件
XSL-FO Documents
XSL-FO文档
XSL-FO documents are XML files with output information. They contain information about the output layout and output contents.
XSL-FO文档是含有输出信息的XML文件。它们包含了输出排版和输出内容的信息
XSL-FO documents are stored in files with a .fo or a .fob file extension. It is also quite common to see XSL-FO documents stored with an .xml extension, because this makes them more accessible to XML editors.
XSL-FO文档以扩展名a .fo 或 a .fob的文件保存在文件里。XSL-FO文档以an .xml扩展名来保存也非常常见。因为这样使它们能更容易地被XML编辑器访问。
XSL-FO Document Structure
XSL-FO文档结构
XSL-FO documents have a structure like this:
XSL-FO文档结构就像这样：
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"> </fo:root> |
Structure explained
结构解析
XSL-FO documents are XML documents, and must always start with an XML declaration:
XSL-FO文档是XML文档，所以必须在开始有一个XML声明：
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> |
The <fo:root> element is the root element of XSL-FO documents. The root element also declares the namespace for XSL-FO:
<fo:root>元素是XSL-FO文档的根元素。根元素也给XSL-FO命名了名称空间（namespaces）：
<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"> |
The <fo:layout-master-set> element contains one or more page templates:
<fo:layout-master-set>元素包含着一个或多个页面模板
<fo:layout-master-set> |
Each <fo:simple-page-master> element contains a single page template. Each template must have a unique name (master-name):
每个<fo:simple-page-master>元素包含着一个单独的页面模板。每个模板都有一个特殊的名称（“master-name“）
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="A4"> |
One or more <fo:page-sequence> elements describe the page contents. The master-reference attribute refers to the simple-page-master template with the same name:
一个或多个<fo:page-sequence>元素描述了页面内容。Master-reference属性指的是同名的“简单页面控制（simple-page-master）模板”。
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="A4"> |
Note: The master-reference "A4" does not actually describe a predefined page format. It is just a name. You can use any name like "MyPage", "MyTemplate", etc.
注意: master-reference "A4"并不是真正地描述了预先定义的页面格式。它只是个名称。你可以起像"MyPage", "MyTemplate",等等的名称。
XSL-FO uses rectangular boxes (areas) to display output.
XSL-FO用矩形块（域）显示结果
XSL-FO Areas
XSL-FO区域
The XSL formatting model defines a number of rectangular areas (boxes) to display output.
XSL格式化模型定义了大量的矩形域（块状区）来显示数据
All output (text, pictures, etc.) will be formatted into these boxes and then displayed or printed to a target media.
所有的结果（文本，图片，等等）都会被格式化后放入这些区域里，然后在目标媒体上显示或打印出来。
We will take a closer look at the following areas:
让我们进一步看看下面的区域：
- Pages 页面
- Regions 区域
- Block areas 块区域
- Line areas 行区域
- Inline areas 行内区域
XSL-FO Pages
XSL-FO Pages[页面]
XSL-FO output is formatted into pages. Printed output will normally go into many separate pages. Browser output will often go into one long page.
XSL-FO结果被格式化成页面形式。打印出来的结果通常会形成很多分开的页面。浏览器的输出的结果通常会是长长的一页。
XSL-FO Pages contain Regions.
XSL-FO页面包含区域
XSL-FO Regions
XSL-FO Regions
Each XSL-FO Page contains a number of Regions:
XSL-FO每页都含有大量的区域
- region-body (the body of the page)
region-body (the body of the page) 区域 — 主体（页面的主体） - region-before (the header of the page)
region-before (the header of the page) 区域—前体（页面标题）
- region-after (the footer of the page)
region-after (the footer of the page) 区域-后体（页面的页脚）
- region-start (the left sidebar)

- region-end (the right sidebar)
region-end (the right sidebar) 区域—末尾（右工具条）
XSL-FO Regions contain Block areas.
XSL-FO区域含有块状区域
XSL-FO Block Areas
XSL-FO Block Areas[块状区域]
XSL-FO Block areas define small block elements (the ones that normally starts with a new line) like paragraphs, tables and lists.

XSL-FO Example
XSL-FO例子
It is time to look at a real XSL-FO example:
是时候来看看XSL-FO的实例了
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"> </fo:root> |
The output from this code would be something like this:
这份代码应输出如下结果：
| Hello w3pop.com
|
XSL-FO pages are filled with data from <fo:flow> elements.
XSL-FO充满了来自<fo:flow>元素的数据
XSL-FO Page Sequences
XSL-FO 页面排序
XSL-FO uses <fo:page-sequence> elements to define output pages.
XSL-FO 用<fo:page-sequence>元素来定义输出页面
Each output page refers to a page master which defines the layout.
每个输出的页面都涉及到定义页面排版的页面模版。
Each output page has a <fo:flow> element defining the output.
每页输出页面指都有定义输出的<fo:flow>元素
Each output page is printed (or displayed) in sequence.
每页输出页面都按顺序打印（或显示）
XSL-FO Flow
XSL-FO pages are filled with content from the <fo:flow> element.
XSL-FO页面有很多来自<fo:flow>元素的内容
The <fo:flow> element contains all the elements to be printed to the page.
<fo:flow>元素包含了要被打印在页面上的所有元素
When the page is full, the same page master will be used over (and over) again until all the text is printed.
当页面印满时，相同的页面模版（page master）会被反复地使用直到所有文本都被打印出来为止。
Where To Flow?
“流向”哪里？
The <fo:flow> element has a "flow-name" attribute.
<fo:flow>元素有"flow-name"（流向名）属性
The value of the flow-name attribute defines where the content of the <fo:flow> element will go.
流向名（flow-name）属性的值决定了<fo:flow>元素内容的流向。
The legal values are:
合法值有：
- xsl-region-body (into the region-body)
xsl-region-body (into the region-body)流向区域主体 - xsl-region-before (into the region-before)
xsl-region-before (into the region-before)流向区域前端 - xsl-region-after (into the region-after)
xsl-region-after (into the region-after)流向区域后端 - xsl-region-start (into the region-start)
xsl-region-start (into the region-start)流向区域端 - xsl-region-end (into the region-end)

XSL-FO uses page templates called "Page Masters" to define the layout of pages.
XSL-FO使用名为“Page Masters”的页面模板来定义页面的排版。
XSL-FO Page Templates
XSL-FO页面模板
XSL-FO uses page templates called "Page Masters" to define the layout of pages. Each template must have a unique name:
XSL-FO使用称作“Page Masters”的页面模板来定义页面的排版。每块模板必须有个独立的名称
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="intro"> <fo:simple-page-master master-name="left"> <fo:simple-page-master master-name="right"> |
In the example above, three <fo:simple-page-master> elements, define three different templates. Each template (page-master) has a different name.
在上面的例子里，三个<fo:simple-page-master>元素，定义了三块不同的模板。每块模板都有不同的名称
The first template is called "intro". It could be used as a template for introduction pages.
第一块模板称作“intro”，它可以用于介绍页面的模板
The second and third templates are called "left" and "right". They could be used as templates for even and odd page numbers.
第二和第三块模板称作"left" and "right"。它们可用于定义奇数页面和偶数页面

margin-top定义了顶边空白 - margin-bottom defines the bottom margin
margin-bottom定义了底边空白 - margin-left defines the left margin
margin-left定义了左边空白 - margin-right defines the right margin
margin-right定义了右边空白 - margin defines all four margins
margin定义了所有的四边空白
XSL-FO Page Regions
XSL-FO页面区域
XSL-FO uses the following elements to define the regions of a page:
XSL-FO用以下元素来定义页面的区域
- region-body defines the body region
region-body定义了整体区域 - region-before defines the top region (header)
region-before定义了顶端的区域（标题） - region-after defines the bottom region (footer)
region-after定义了底端区域（页脚） - region-start defines the left region (left sidebar)
region-start定义了左端区域（左端工具条） - region-end defines the right region (right sidebar)
region-end定义了右端区域（右端工具条）
Note that the region-before, region-after, region-start, and region-end is a part of the body region. To avoid text in the body region to overwrite text in these regions, the body region must have margins at least the size of these regions.
要注意前端区域（region-before），后端区域（region-after），始端区域（region-start），末端区域（region-end）是主体区域的一部分，主体区域的空白尺寸至少要和这些区域一样

XSL-FO Example
XSL-FO例子
This is an extract from an XSL-FO document:
这是一份XSL-FO文档的部分
<fo:simple-page-master master-name="A4" |
The code above defines a "Simple Page Master Template" with the name "A4".
上面的代码定义了名称为"A4"的"Simple Page Master Template"
The width of the page is 297 millimeters and the height is 210 millimeters.
这页宽297毫米，高210毫米
The top, bottom, left, and right margins of the page are all 1 centimeter.
页面的顶部和底部左右空白都是1厘米
The body has a 3 centimeter margin (on all sides).
主体部分有3厘米宽的空白（在所有边上）
The before, after, start, and end regions (of the body) are all 2 centimeters.
主体的前后始末部分都是2厘米
The width of the body in the example above can be calculated by subtracting the left and right margins and the region-body margins from the width of the page itself:
在这个例子当中，主体宽度可以这样计算：页面自身宽度减去左右空白和区域主体空白的宽度，具体如下：
297mm - (2 x 1cm) - (2 x 3cm) = 297mm - 20mm - 60mm = 217mm.
Note that the regions (region-start and region-end) are not a part of the calculation. As described earlier, these regions are parts of the body.
要注意区域（始区域和末区域）并不在计算范围之内。像前面所说的那样，这些区域只是主体的一部分。
XSL-FO输出进入块状区域。
XSL-FO Pages, Flow, and Block
XSL-FO Pages, Flow, 以及 Block
"Blocks" of content "Flow" into "Pages" of the output media.

XSL-FO output is normally nested inside <fo:block> elements, nested inside <fo:flow> elements, nested inside <fo:page-sequence> elements:
XSL-FO输出通常被嵌在<fo:block>元素，<fo:flow>元素，<fo:page-sequence>元素内
<fo:page-sequence> |
Block Area Attributes
Block Area 属性
Blocks are sequences of output in rectangular boxes:
块状区域是一组在矩形框内的输出的结果：
<fo:block |
Since block areas are rectangular boxes, they share many common area properties:
因为块状区域的是矩形框，它们共享很多共同的区域性质：
- space before and space after最上和最下空间
- margin页边
- border边框
- padding填充
| space before |
margin
|
| space after |
The space before and space after is the empty space separating the block from the other blocks.
“Space before”和“space after”空间是用来分隔本区域和别的区域的。
The margin is the empty area on the outside of the block.
页边（margin）是块状区域外面的空白区域
The border is the rectangle drawn around the external edge of the area. It can have different widths on all four sides. It can also be filled with different colors and background images.
边界（border）是矩形框的四条边；它们可以有不同的宽度；它们也可以填充不同的颜色和背景图片
The padding is the area between the border and the content area.
填充是位于边界和内容区域之间的地方
The content area contains the actual content like text, pictures, graphics, or whatever.
内容区域包含了诸如文本、图片、图表等实际存在的内容。

从上面的例子，你可以看到要制造一份有很多标题和段落的文档要用上大量的代码
Normally XSL-FO document do not combine formatting information and content like we have done here.
一般来说XSL-FO文档不象我们这样把格式化信息和内容结合起来。
With a little help from XSLT we can put the formatting information into templates and write a cleaner content.
在XSLT的一些帮助下，我们可以把格式化信息放到模板里，这样的内容就更清爽单一了
You will learn more about how to combine XSL-FO with XSLT templates in a later chapter in this tutorial.
