XSL-FO, from the markup up.
Sixteen short chapters that start with what a formatting object actually is, and end with bookmarks and leaders. Read them in order, or jump to the object you need.
Ported from the tutorial that has served this site since 2001. The prose is unchanged; the layout is new. These pages describe XSL-FO itself, not the capabilities of any particular engine.
