The xsl I wrote to convert is this
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"

</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

The problem is that the pdf shows only the title and the part of the
body is not visible.
What I need to change to make visible the body in the pdf??
Please I ask for help!!!

I have no experience with cocoon, but I don't think that really matters,
it's about your XSL file.

[XML file snipped] The xsl I wrote to convert is this

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

margin-left="2.5cm"
margin-right="2.5cm">
<fo:region-before extent="3cm"/>
<fo:region-body margin-top="3cm"/>
<fo:region-after extent="1.5cm"/>

<fo:block text-align="center"
font-size="10pt"

This is not in a fo:block or fo:inline element. When you look at the
result FO file (which is itself an XML file), you see that href's are
just "laying around"; they don't have any fo element associated with
them, other than only the <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">

But an fo:flow element should have 0 or more bl

Only the title and page number are in a fo:block element. AFAIK the
whole page should be a fo:block element (which can of course contain
other fo:block and fo:inline elements, but the page itself is a block),
or should be multiple blocks stacked together.

I think putting a block in "xsl-region-body" will fix it, something like
this:

<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
<fo:block>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</fo:block>
</fo:flow>

Or put a fo:block element where the first matching template begins.

Normally I put it on the element which matches my XML root element en
put there all the default styles, so all children will inheret those values.

But you should also wrap those href's in an fo:inline element.
