Creating a Convert to XML Converter

Stylus Studio displays the file you selected in the Convert to XML Editor.

5. Modify the file layout, its regions, and its fields as needed. See Working with Regions if you need help with this step.

6. Modify the properties that govern XML output as needed. See Controlling XML Output if you need help with this step.

7. Preview the results.
