Working with Stylesheets - Getting Started

This section helps you get started working with XSLT stylesheets. To focus on stylesheets that generate HTML, see Stylesheets That Generate HTML - Getting Started. To focus on stylesheets that map XML to XML, see Using the XSLT Mapper - Getting Started.

Except for the first topic, each of the following topics contains instructions for working with a sample XSLT stylesheet. You should perform the steps in each topic before you move on to the next topic. After the first topic, some steps depend on actions you performed in a previous topic.

This introduction to working with stylesheets in Stylus Studio is organized as follows:

Stylus Studio's XSLT debugger - a requirement for building bug-free XSLT stylesheets and XML data transformation applications. Stylus Studio's XSLT debugger gives you complete visibility and control over the XSLT transformation process.

XML Schema Mapping

Stylus Studio includes a visual XML Schema-to-XML Schema mapping tool that allows you to easily implement sophisticated XML data mappings involving multiple data sources and customized data processing using either XSLT or XQuery code.

Simple API for XML (SAX)

SAX stands for Simple API for XML - SAX is an XML standard used everywhere in Stylus Studio, for parsing and building representations of XML documents.
