To define the layout of pages XSL-FO uses page templates called "Page Masters" and each template must have a unique name.

In example given below three <fo:simple-page-master> elements, define three different templates and each template has a different name.

The first template is called "intro" and it is used for introduction pages.

The second and third templates are called "left" and "right" and used for even and odd page numbers.

To define the page size of a page XSL-FO Page size used the following attributes:

• page-width defines the width of a page
• page-height defines the height of a page

To define the margins of a page XSL-FO Page Margins used the following attributes:

• margin-top
• margin-bottom
• margin-left
• margin-right
• margin defines all four margins

To define the regions of a page XSL-FO Page regions used the following attributes:

• region-body:- For body region
• region-before:- For top region
• region-after:- For bottom region
• region-start:- For left region
• region-end:- For right region

Note:- The region-start,region-end,region-before and region-after is a part of the body region.To avoid text in the body region and to overwrite text in these regions, the body region must have margins as a minimum size of these regions.
