Description

The XSL template directive localizes various elements from which stylesheet rules can be applied. Each element is targeted with the match attribute. Formatting directives are located inside the opening and closing <xsl:template> tags.

<xsl:template match="para" >
  <fo:block font-size="12pt">
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </fo:block>
</xsl:template>

See the earlier Section 10.4.3 for more information on matching elements.
