Jerry JanofskySubject: How to get Stylus Studio's preview window to use a cascading style sheet (css)

Can someone just tell me where I need to locate my stylesheet so it will get processed properly by the Stylus Studio preview window?

The stylesheet is called out in a link attribute of the head of the html document. Below is a section of my xsl stylesheet that generates the HTML.


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">

<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head>
<title>The Title</title>
<link rel="stylesheet">
<xsl:attribute name="href">MyStyles.css</xsl:attribute>
</link>
</head>
<body>

When run in preview, the HTML file is generated in your temp directory.
You can either put a copy of your CSS there, put an absolute path in
your XSLT, or set the base.

If you don't want to have to change your XSLT to deploy it, you could
put in a global parameter with a default value of '', and in your
scenario set that value to your temp directory. Then in your XSLT
you could just concatenate the path variable with the CSS name. For
deployment, it would resolve to just the CSS name, but for development,
the scenario would pass in the temp dir path.

To find your temp dir path, go to the command line and just do
echo %TEMP%
