Where can I find good tutorials on XSL-FO (Formatting/ed Objects), the stuff one feeds to fop and get PDF's? [closed]

On a company that I've worked, me and my colleagues, implemented a tailored document distribution system on top of XSL-FO.

My task was to get the script to deliver the documents and configure the CUPS print server and the Fax server, so I never had the time to get my hands dirty on XSL-FO.

I'm thinking of implementing something in the region that was made there but I'll need some templates to work with while testing.

Where can I find some good tutorials on XSL-FO, since the fop process I've mastered already?

I like to refer people to this 2003 IBM developerWorks article: HTML to Formatting Objects (FO) conversion guide

I don't recommend using the provided .xsl to convert HTML to FO, but use the narrative to understand the different XSL-FO constructs and how they relate to HTML (which we all understand).
