Source Documents

In Stylus Studio, a source document in the XSLT mapper can be an XML document, an XML Schema (XSD), or a document type definition (DTD). The role of a source document is to provide Stylus Studio with a structure that it can use to compose the XSLT stylesheet, based on how you map individual source document elements and attributes to nodes in the target structure. Stylus Studio infers the target structure from the document (XML, XSD, or DTD) you specify and displays this structure on the Mapper tab.
