Just began to work on a project by using XSL-FO.  As
in html page, we can use CSS to define a class to
format a html page.  I am wondering how I can define a
class to do a similar trick b/c it is very cumbersome
for me to set the text formatting for every
<fo:block>.

Many properties are inheritable so you can specify them on an ancestral formatting object to be used by your blocks.


If you are using XSLT to create your XSLFO instance, you can employ a number of methods for ensuring all of your blocks are as you need. We've published an electronic book focused on XSLT and XPath that may help:

The Ninth Edition of the electronic book is now out in paper, published by Prentice Hall under the title "Definitive XSLT and XPath":
