Chapter 3 Converting Non-XML Files to XML


Stylus Studio's Convert to XML is a module you use to build converters that convert non-XML files to XML documents. This chapter describes how to use Convert to XML, and how to use files you convert on-the-fly elsewhere in Stylus Studio - as a source for XQuery and XSLT design, for example.

 

Convert to XML is available only in Stylus Studio XML Professional Edition.
