Applying a Stylesheet to Multiple Documents

You can apply the same stylesheet to multiple documents

Applying the Same Stylesheet in Separate Operations

Scenarios make it easy to view results and apply the same stylesheet to multiple XML documents. A stylesheet can have any number of scenarios. Each scenario is associated with only one stylesheet. In addition to the stylesheet, a scenario is associated with a source XML file. The same XML file can be associated with any number of scenarios.

To view results for a particular scenario:

Each time you generate a different scenario, Stylus Studio displays a tab at the bottom of the Preview window for that scenario. Click the tab for the scenario you want to view. This allows you to compare results.

Applying a Stylesheet to Multiple Documents in One Operation

For example, you can specify the following:

This selects the bookstore root element of the bookstore.xml document.

Stylus Studio looks for the document in the directory that contains the stylesheet.

The document() function has a lot of overhead. You should call it once and assign the result to a variable with the xsl:variable instruction.
