There is no such tag.
You can try various workarounds, including
implementing your own FO extension elements.
A simple possibility could be to declare
your text document as external parsed entity:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fo:root [
<!ENTITY text SYSTEM "http://foo/bar.text">
]>
<fo:root>
...
<fo:block>&text;</fo:block>
(Beware: Untested, and possibly dependent on
environment)
It is recommended to migrate your data into
an XML document, which is more amenable to
convenient processing.
