<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
    <fo:layout-master-set>
        <fo:simple-page-master master-name="simple" page-height="11in" page-width="8.5in" margin-top=".5in" margin-bottom=".5in" margin-left=".5in" margin-right=".5in">
            <fo:region-body region-name="xsl-region-body" margin-bottom=".5in" margin-top=".50in"/>
            <fo:region-before region-name="xsl-region-before" extent="5in"/>
            <fo:region-after region-name="xsl-region-after" extent=".5in"/>
        </fo:simple-page-master>
    </fo:layout-master-set>
    <fo:page-sequence master-reference="simple">
        <fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-before">
            <fo:block>header</fo:block>
        </fo:static-content>
        <fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-after">
            <fo:block>footer</fo:block>
        </fo:static-content>
        <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
            <fo:block break-after="page">
            Body
            </fo:block>
            <fo:block>
