Using Third-Party XSLT Processors

In addition to a built-in XSLT processor, Stylus Studio includes several third-party XSLT processors, including Xalan-J, MSXML .NET, and Saxon (6 and 8). Note, however, that only the following XSLT processors support Stylus Studio stylesheet debugging and back-mapping functionality:

  • Stylus Studio's built-in XSLT processor
  • Saxon 6 and 8
  • XalanJ
  • Microsoft .NET

Back-mapping and debugging are not supported by other XSLT processors, including others bundled with Stylus Studio (MSXML 4.0, for example).

Note

 

You can use only the built-in XML parser with Stylus Studio.
