Text

A text component is a block that allows you to create an area for text that can be formatted independently from the body text in a report. The text component in Figure 459 has been formatted using a crimson italic font, which differs from the default body text that precedes and follows it.

Figure 459. Body Text and Text Component

Text components and body text have the same properties (Alignment, Font, Color, Size, and so on).

Creating a Text Component

To create a text component:
1. Click the canvas where you want to insert the text component.
2. Select Report > Insert > Text from the menu.

Alternative: Right-click and select Insert Text from the short-cut menu.

Graphical Representation

In the XML Publisher canvas, a text component is represented, when selected, as a bounding box drawn with a dashed line. If the text component is not selected, the bounding box does not appear.

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.

The Stylus Studio DTD Editor lets you visually develop Document Type Definitions (DTD) to structure XML documents. The DTD Editor also includes tools and utilites for validating XML against DTD's, converting DTD's, and generating DTD's.

Validating EDIFACT Documents with XML Schemas

Either before or after transforming EDIFACT content, generated XML Schemas will make sure that we have all of the necessary components, our codes are all according to the standard codelists, and every little delimiter is in the right place.

Validate XML Using XSD

You can validate XML documents against any data model defined using W3C XSD, using any major XSD Validator, including MSXML 3.0, MSXML 4.0, MSXML 6.0, Xerces-J, Xerces-C, Microsoft System.XML (1.0 and 2.0), XSV, the Saxonica XSD Validator and others.
