<s1 title="Examples">
    <p>Examples for the use of xsl:fo can be found in the Fop distribution in 
       the subdirectory xml-fop/docs/examples/fo. You can start transformation of all fo files into pdf
       files by starting xml-fop/docs/examples/runtests. The resulting test files can be found in 
       xml-fop/docs/examples/tests
    </p>
    <p>At the moment the following files are part of the distribution:</p>
    <ul>
      <li>simple.fo - a very simple file which gives use a first impression of the structure of an fo file

      </li>
      <li>extensive.fo - a longer test file containing a lot of different flow objects and properties. 
          A good candidate to test your bugfix or new Fop code. 
      </li>
