Multi Channel PublishingWe're going to expand on the theme from Single Source Publishing to include writing to even more disparate outputs types from the same input. You saw in that demonstration how a single report definition can be used to generate HTML+CSS for the web and also XSL-FO ➔ PDF for document delivery or print media. This time we're going to add more output sources, and show how all can be generated from the same input, at the same time. We're going to use the XML Pipeline and
XML Publishing features of Stylus Studio®
to accomplish our goals. We'll use the same Publish to Web via HTML+CSSThis part is easy; we take the Publish to Print Media via XSL-FO and PDFAnd this is easy also. Take that same Publish to SpreadsheetsFor this part, we need a small bit of XSLT. Using the Stylus Studio® XSLT tools, including the editor, we can quickly generate a piece of XSLT that writes in a flat text format.
But we can do even better. Stylus Studio® includes a set of adapters, and we can use the comma-separated-value adapter to do this with almost no work, just by writing the XML data through the adapter. Publish to EDI for PartnersA few minutes work using the EDI tools along with the XSLT mapper, and a map is produced between the input document and the EDIFACT INVRPT message that our reseller is expecting. This probably goes into their catalog production system, but who knows? The point is, we can deliver whatever they need. Wiring Channels TogetherNow all we need to do is to plop these components onto the XML Pipeline canvas. Dragging them from the Project window or File Explorer window is first, followed by drawing lines. Then clicking on the output ports of each bottom glyph, and naming the output. In case you just want to skip to the end and try it, here is everything all packaged up for you as a Stylus Studio® project file (zipped).
