Its dimensions are determined by
the <em class="parameter"><code>page.height</code></em> and <em class="parameter"><code>page.width</code></em>
parameters.</p><p>The yellow region is the region-body. The size and placement of
the region body is constrained by the dimensions labelled in the
figure.</p><p>The pink region at the top of the page is the region-before. The
darker area inside the region-before is the header text. In XSL, the default
display alignment for a region is <code class="literal">before</code>, but the
DocBook stylesheets still explicitly make it <code class="literal">before</code>. That's
why the darker area is at the top.</p><p>The pink region at the bottom of the page is the region-after.
The darker area is the footer text. In XSL, the default display
alignment for a region is <code class="literal">before</code>,
but the DocBook stylesheets explicitly make it
<code class="literal">after</code>. That's why the darker area is at the bottom.</p><p>The dimensions in the figure are:</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="A"><li class="listitem"><p>The page-master margin-top.
