Its dimensions are determined by
the <a href="page.height.html"><i class="parameter"><tt>page.height</tt></i></a> and <a href="page.width.html"><i class="parameter"><tt>page.width</tt></i></a>
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 <tt class="literal">before</tt>, but the
DocBook stylesheets still explicitly make it <tt class="literal">before</tt>. 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 <tt class="literal">before</tt>,
but the DocBook stylesheets explicitly make it
<tt class="literal">after</tt>. That's why the darker area is at the bottom.</p><p>The dimensions in the figure are:</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol type="A"><li><p>The page-master margin-top.
</p></li><li><p>The region-before extent.
</p></li><li><p>The region-body margin-top.
</p></li><li><p>The region-after extent.
</p></li><li><p>The page-master margin-bottom.
</p></li><li><p>The region-body margin-bottom.
</p></li><li><p>The sum of the page-master margin-left and the
region-body margin-left. In DocBook, the region-body margin-left is
zero by default, so this is simply the page-master region-left.
</p></li><li><p>The sum of the page-master margin-right and the
region-body margin-right. In DocBook, the region-body margin-right is
zero by default, so this is simply the page-master region-left.
