Setting a Text Value

You can set text values for target structure elements and attributes. You might want to do this if you are composing a mapping whose target structure contains an element or attribute that requires a fixed value, instead of using a value gathered from an input XML document.

Example

Here is the XSLT code Stylus Studio generates for the Title element when a text value is specified for it:

<Book> 
	<Title>Confederacy of Dunces</Title> 
</Book>
