The
XSLT Source tab displays the entire stylesheet in the XSLT editor. You can edit the stylesheet in the same way you can edit any other XML document. The usual editing tools are available to you. As you type, Stylus Studio displays a pop-up menu from which you can select the item you want to specify.
To display the XSLT editor, open an XSLT stylesheet, or select
File >
New >
XSLT Stylesheet from the Stylus Studio menu bar. At the bottom of the XSLT editor window, click the
XSLT Source tab.
