Clay, I do know about xsl:include, import, etc. I was trying to include common content at different locations within the page(s) for which this does not work. I solved this issue by putting that content in an XML file and calling document() from within my xsl:value-of tag. However, that added a requirement of having that content in XML format. This is not necessary in your normal HTML includes. I know there are several ways of achieving this in HTML, but I wanted something which will work for the PDF (FO)version.
I do think this was the right forum for such a question. Please read the question properly in the future and you will save effort in typing the educational pointers.

In other words, it must appear just below the root xsl:stylesheet element. There is also xsl:import which is similar. I recommend picking up an XSL or XML book that explains how to use such things. You can also search google.com (like I did for this post), for more information and tutorials. Web Maestro Clay p.s. Please make sure you post to the right place. fop-dev is where FOP Development is discussed. fop-user *might* be OK for this type of question, but xsl-list is the best.
