The Document Root: fo:root

The fo:root object is the top node of the formatting object tree that makes up a formatting object document. That is, document node of the formatting object document must be fo:root.

The children of the fo:root formatting object are a single fo:layout-master-set and a sequence of one or more fo:page-sequences. The fo:layout-master-set formatting object holds all “masters” used in the document, which you use to specify how each page will actually be built. Each fo:page-sequence represents a sequence of pages formatted the way you want them. For example, each chapter of a book could be made up of its own page sequence, and you can give each sequence the same header and footer such as Chapter 2: The Plot Thickens.
