Styles
The presentation of various block and inline elements can be adjusted by setting style keys. Each category takes XSL-FO key definitions and keys specific to that style.
While the style keys may look like CSS, the keys are XSL-FO properties and the underlying PDF2 plug-in does not use CSS compatibility properties.
- Instead of padding-top, usepadding-before.
- Instead of margin-left, usestart-indent. Note that these two keys do not have matching semantics, see XSL 1.1.
The built-in default theme defines base key values that extend the PDF2 default styling. To define common settings of your own, create a theme file for shared settings, and use the extends key in other themes to build on the common foundation.

In addition to the block and inline styles, themes support XSL-FO extension properties implemented by XSL formatters:
- background-size: [ <length> | <percentage> | auto ]{1,2}— Size of background image.
