Yes, if you are using XSLT to generate your XSL-FO, because XSLT allows you to generate the XSL-FO using constructs along the lines of: <xsl:attribute-set name="my-font-details"> <xsl:attribute name="font-family">Arial</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="font-weight">bold</xsl:attribute> ... <xsl:attribute name="font-size">12pt</xsl:attribute> </xsl:attribute-set> ... <block xsl:use-attribute-sets="my-font-details"> ... </block> But no, if you are looking for such a construct in the FO vocabulary itself. The XSLT technique produces the FO vocabulary in "long form" with all of the attributes attached to the <block> element. There is no referencing in the FO vocabulary of elements and attributes. I hope this helps. ............. Ken -- Upcoming hands-on courses: (registration still open!) - (XSLT/XPath and/or XSL-FO) North America: June 16-20, 2003 G.
