Editing an XSLT Map in XSLT View

This section discusses basic editing using the XSLT pane in XSLT View. The following list includes the major differences between editing in XSLT View and editing in Map View:

  • XSLT View does not provide a merged view of the XSLT nodes and the target schema. The right target pane is divided into two panes. The top pane is called the XSLT pane and the lower pane is called the target pane. If no target schema is defined, then the lower pane is not shown.

  • In order to map to target nodes, these nodes must be explicitly added to the XSLT pane before they can be mapped. The editor provides several ways to do this. These are discussed in the subsequent sections.

  • The complete range of XSLT 1.0 instructions is available in XSLT View. These instructions can be added anywhere within the XSLT panel, so long as their position is consistent with the XSLT specification.

  • A number of advanced features are available in XSLT View, such as template rules (matched templates), named templates, import/include, and so on. These advanced features are discussed later in this chapter.
