Options - Module Settings - XSLT Editor - External XSLT

The external XSLT options allow you to specify default values for external XSLT processors. When you define a scenario, you can specify that you want to use an external XSLT processor. If you do, Stylus Studio uses the default values you specify here. You can also specify external XSLT processor settings in the Processor tab of the Scenario Properties dialog box. If you do, the settings you specify in the Processor tab override the default settings.

If you use the Xalan-J, MSXML .NET, or Saxon processor, you can continue to use Stylus Studio backmapping and debugging features. If you use the MSXML processor or an alternate XSLT processor, you cannot use Stylus Studio backmapping and debugging features.

To display the Options dialog box, select Tools > Options from the Stylus Studio menu bar. Expand Module Settings and XSLT Editor, and click External XSLT.
