Now I have: <xsl:template match="doc"> <fo:root> <fo:layout-master-set> <fo:simple-page-master master-name="PageMaster"> <xsl:attribute name="page-height">297mm</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="page-width">210mm</xsl:attribute> <fo:region-body background-color="#CCCCCC"> <xsl:attribute name="column-count"> <xsl:value-of select="$column-count"/> </xsl:attribute> </fo:region-body> <fo:region-before extent="10mm" display-align="after"/> <fo:region-after extent="10mm" display-align="before"/> </fo:simple-page-master> </fo:layout-master-set> <fo:page-sequence master-reference="PageMaster" background-color="#FFFFFF" > <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body" background-color="#FFFFFF" margin="15mm 15mm 15mm 15mm"> <xsl:apply-templates /> </fo:flow> </fo:page-sequence> </fo:root> </xsl:template> But I can't get the background of the columns set white. Also the margin works only for left and right, not for top and bottom.
