This section introduces you to the use of XSL-FO flow objects.
Definitions and usages
The content from the object fills the XSL-FO page.
The object contains all the elements you want to print to the page.
When the page is full, the same master page is reused until all the text is printed.
The object has a "flow-name" property that defines where the content will go.
