XSL Editor

Stylus Studio® includes a powerful XSL editor, shown below. Our XSL editor includes a built-in XSL processor, but also works with any third party XSL processor, including Apache Xalan, Saxon, MSXML, Microsoft System.XML (the offical XML API for the Microsoft .NET framework), and any others for that matter. Some of the features include, intelligent XSL editing (Code sensing and Auto completion for XSL elements), single click XSL transformations, a preview window, XSL template stack window, an XML input document overview window, the ability to create and save associations of different XML files, stylesheets and processors to facilitate XSL stylesheet testing, XSL:FO tools, etc. Mouse over the screenshot below for more information about a particular window or button.

This helps because you can easily see which elements have template matches, and you can create templates simply by drag-and-dropping them onto the editing window. Backmap Stack: Clicking on an element on the stack will place the cursor on the respective template in the XSL stylesheet source. Preview Window: View the results of an XSL Transformation. Upon clicking anywhere in the output preview, Stylus Studio® will highlight the corresponding XSL source which generated it - this is known as 'Backmapping'.
