The short answer to your question is that you need and XSL-FO processor
to process FO code. MSXML (which is what you are using when
implementing a transformation via IE) does not provide support for FO.
Your best starting point is to visit the Apache.org site and look at the
FOP processor project (http://xml.apache.org/fop/). This is a very
popular processor for FO and a good starting point and resource for
FO-based XSL code development
If you are considering FO as a solution for long term development I
would also consider visiting G. Ken Holmans company site
(http://www.cranesoftwrights.com/) and look into taking one of his
highly rated/recommended courses on XSL-FO.
Best of luck to you!

Hi,
What is the basic requirement for XSL:FO?
When I started learning and coding XSL the only software
needed was IE.
Now I am trying to learn XSL:FO but it isn't working.
Do I need to install and run any software for XSL:FO ?
I have the following XML and XSL:FO code but it isn't getting
formtted as per the code.
XML :-
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='yes' ?>
<?xml-stylesheet type='text/xsl' href='test.fo' ?>
<document>
<section>
<head>My very first xsl-fo document</head>
<para> A new <em>technology</em> to learn</para>
</section>
<section>
<head>The second section should start on a new page </head>
<para>The second section</para>
</section>
</document>
XSL/XSL:FO :-
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";>
<fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:simple-page-master
master-name="simple"
page-height ="29.7cm"
page-width ="21cm"
margin-left ="2.5cm"
margin-right ="2.5cm">
<fo:region-body margin-top="13cm"/>
</fo:simple-page-master>
</fo:layout-master-set>
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="simple">
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</fo:flow>
</fo:page-sequence>
</fo:root>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="document">
<fo:block>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="section">
<fo:block break-before="page">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="head">
<fo:block>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="para">
<fo:block>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="em">
<fo:inline font-style="italic">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</fo:inline>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*">
<fo:block background-color="red">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Thanks in advance.
Arun
