When multiple instances of an element are allowed, you specify that there can be either In the Tree tab, to specify that there can be multiple instances of an element:
1. Define the element that can appear multiple times. See Defining Elements in the DTD Tree Tab.
2. Define the element that contains the element that can appear multiple times. This is the container element.
3. Click the container element name.
4. In the left tool bar, click New Modifier 
. Stylus Studio displays a drop-down menu.
5. If the container element can contain only one type of element, skip this step. If the container element can contain more than one type of element, double-click Sequence, and then click New Modifier.
6. Double-click Zero or More to allow the container element to contain zero, one, or more instances of an element. Or, double-click One or More to allow the container element to contain one or more instances of an element.
7. In the left tool bar, click New Reference to Element 
and enter the name of the element that can appear multiple times. If the container element can contain additional types of elements, repeat this step for each one that can appear multiple times.
After you add a reference to an element, you might want to check the definition of the referenced element. To do this, right-click the reference. In the shortcut menu, click Go To Definition. Stylus Studio moves the focus to the definition of the referenced element. Suppose there are some elements that can appear zero, one, or more times, and there are other elements that can appear one or more times. The tree representation for this might look like the following: In this example, an instance document must contain these elements in the following order: Suppose you want them in the following order: In this case, the tree representation would look like this: |
Map between EDIFACT and X12
Anything can be mapped to anything: EDIFACT to X12 or vice-versa, either to XML, and any of those to flat files or other formats. Both the XSLT and XQuery mappers can help bridge complex formats with ease.
