Opening the XSLT Mapper

This procedure describes how to open the XSLT Mapper and select the files you want to use for the drag-and-drop operations that will define your XSLT stylesheet.

To open the XSLT Mapper:
1. From the Stylus Studio menu bar, select File > New > XSLT Stylesheet.

Stylus Studio displays the Scenario Properties dialog box.

2. Click the Cancel button to dismiss the dialog box.

Stylus Studio displays XSLT editor with the Mapper tab selected. The source pane beneath the mapper panes appears by default, allowing you to see how the mappings of XML document elements are rendered as XSLT. The source pane is fully editable and synchronized with the XSLT Mapper. Of course, you can always click the XSLT Source tab for a full-screen view of your XSLT code.
