Options - Module Settings - XML Diff - Presentation

 

XML Differencing is available only in Stylus Studio XML Enterprise Suite and Stylus Studio XML Professional Suite.

You use the Presentation page of the Options dialog box to modify the default settings Stylus Studio uses for the background color to display added, removed, changed, and collapsed items in the XML Diff editor and the Diff Folders dialog box.

Fields

Added items

Items that appear in the target document but not in the source document.

Removed items

Items that appear in the source document but are not present in the target document.

Changed items

Items that differ in the source and target documents (the text of a node differs, for exmple).

Collapsed items with changes

Indicates that there are changes within an item (such as a folder or a node) that is currently displayed as collapsed. The precise nature of the change becomes visible once the item is expanded.

Diffing Folders and XML Documents

Translating EDIFACT Documents to XML

The EDIFACT to XML Converter is a primary component of the adapter library. The XML that is generated is well commented and indented, and can be used anywhere XML is normally used — with XML Schemas, XQuery, XSLT, and so on.

XQuery Debugger

The Stylus Studio XQuery Debugger allows you to set breakpoints and step through the evaluation of any XQuery expression in a way that gives you complete control and visibility into the XQuery expression evaluation process.

XML Spell Checker

The Stylus Studio Spell Checker is integrated with our intuitive XML Text Editor. It highlights typographical errors as you type and lets you easily search, replace, and build custom dictionaries.
