Home > Online Product Documentation > Table of Contents > How to Use a Third-Party Processor How to Use a Third-Party ProcessorYou specify XSLT processors for stylesheets individually. You can, of course, create multiple scenarios for the same stylesheet, with each one using a different processor. When you use a third-party XSLT processor, output from the processor appears in the Preview window. To use a third-party XSLT processor:
1. Open the stylesheet.
2. In the XSLT Editor, in the scenario name field, click the down arrow to display the scenarios associated with the stylesheet.
3. To use a third-party processor for an existing scenario, click the scenario name, and then click
to display the
Scenario Properties dialog box.
To create a new scenario, click Create Scenario. See Creating a Scenario.
4. In the
Scenario Properties dialog box that appears, click the
Processor tab.
5. Select the XSLT processor you want to use from the
Processor drop-down list.
6. Optionally, change the default settings for the processor you selected.
7. If you selected a standard XSLT processor, you are done. Click
OK.
If you selected Use custom processor (%1 xml, %2 xslt, %3 output):
a. In the
Command line field, type the command line for invoking the processor you want to run. You must specify the command line so that it is clear where to use the three arguments. Following are two examples:
b. In the
Path field, specify any path that needs to be defined for the processor to run. Typically, this is the location of the processor.
c. In the
Classpath field, type any directories the external processor needs to access that are not already specified in your
CLASSPATH environment variable.
d. Click
OK.
Using the Saxon ProcessorStylus Studio lets you execute XSLT documents using either the Saxon-B (basic) or Saxon-SA (schema-aware) processor. You specify which processor you want to use with the Execution mode property in the Saxon XSLT Settings dialog box. Settings that have command line equivalents in Saxon show the command in parentheses following the property name. Some settings are available only if you are using Saxon-SA. Stylus Studio's Sense:X syntax coloring and auto-completion provides full support for Saxon syntax, so long as the Saxon Logic XSLT processor is either associated with the current XSLT scenario or has been set as the default XSLT processor. If you want to use the Saxon processor:
1. On the
Processors tab, click
Saxon.
The Settings button becomes active.
2. Click the
Settings button.
The Saxon XSLT Settings dialog box appears.
3. Complete the settings as desired. Press F1 to access the Stylus Studio online help, or refer to the
Saxon documentation for more information.
4. Click
OK.
Passing ParametersTo pass parameters to the Stylus Studio built-in XSLT processor or to the Xalan-J, Microsoft .NET, Saxon, or MSXML processor, specify them in the Parameters tab of the Scenario Properties dialog box. To pass parameters to a custom external processor, you must specify them in the command line you enter. |
Multi Channel Publishing
Multi channel publishing lets you go beyond single-source publishing of HTML and PDF to also generate simultaneously for non-document forms, such as to communicate with partners or drive spreadsheets.
XML Unicode Encoding
Stylus Studio supports over 300 different file encodings, including UTF-8, UTF-16, EUC-JP, SHIFT-JIS, and more, alowing you to work with any XML document. Robust text editors support standard editing features, and Sense:X intelligent auto-completion.
XML Code Folding
Stylus Studio's XML Editor features XML code folding, a powerful and intuitive way to maximize limited screen real-estate and help make sense of large XML files.
Accessing Relational Databases as XML with Stylus Studio's File Explorer
This demonstration is the first part of our series on working with relational and XML data, covering how to use Stylus Studio's File Explorer to connect to and query relational database tables as XML.
