<fo:table>

<fo:table-column column-width="25mm"/>
<fo:table-column column-width="25mm"/>

<fo:table-header>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block font-weight="bold">Car</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block font-weight="bold">Price</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-header>

<fo:table-body>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block>Volvo</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block>$50000</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block>SAAB</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell>
<fo:block>$48000</fo:block>
