XSL-FO list-block Object

Definition and Usage

The <fo:list-block> object is used to format the whole list.

There are four XSL-FO objects used to create lists:

• fo:list-block (contains the whole list)
• fo:list-item (contains each item in the list)
• fo:list-item-label (contains the label for the list-item - typically an <fo:block> containing a number, character, etc.)
• fo:list-item-body (contains the content/body of the list-item - typically one or more <fo:block> objects)

Syntax

<fo:list-block>
  <!--
	Contents:(list-item+)
  -->
</fo:list-block>
