Table of Contents:
---------------
* Chapter 1, "Getting Started with Stylus StudioŽ," provides step-by-step instructions for editing an XML document, applying a stylesheet, creating a dynamic Web page, debugging stylesheets and Java files, and mapping an XML document with one schema to an XML document with another schema.
* Chapter 2, "Editing and Querying XML," describes how to update an XML
document in the text, tree, schema, and grid views of the XML editor. It also provides information about how to query documents and handle query results.
* Chapter 3, "Converting Non-XML Files to XML," describes how to use the Stylus Studio Convert to XML module to create converters that allow you to open any flat file (.txt, binary, or EDI, for example) as an XML document.
* Chapter 4, "Working with XSLT," includes a tutorial for using XSLT and understanding how XSLT works. It provides information and instructions for using the XSLT editor to create, modify, and apply stylesheets. It also contains reference information for the various XSLT instructions you can specify in a stylesheet.
