I'm sorry but I don't understand what you mean by ".fo template".

A ".fo" file is very rarely used a *template*. It's almost always an 
intermediate file which represents a *single*, *specific*, page layout.

Notice my words: *single*, *specific*; *template* implies that a ".fo" 
file could be used to create multiple page layouts.

In order to convert a ".fo" file to PDF, simply:

1) Make sure that you have a recent Java runtime (e.g Java 8+) installed 
on your computer.

2) Download and install Apache FOP. See 
https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/2.3/

3) Run:

fop -fo XXX.fo -pdf XXX.pdf

See https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/2.3/running.html

Your question seems to be related to

1) XSL. May be it's about "2.3 Literal Result Element as Stylesheet" -- 
https://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xslt-19991116#result-element-stylesheet 
-- a rarely used XSLT feature.

2) DocBook. May be you should post your question to the public mailing
