Each report you build in StyleVision will automatically generate HTML, PDF, Word, RTF, and plain text output, as well as corresponding XSLT or XSL: FO style sheets for each format.
Designing an XSLT stylesheet for generating reports in StyleVision is a highly flexible visual drag and drop process, facilitated by smart menus and entry helper windows. Advanced stylesheet functions can help you define conditional templates, automatic calculations, rich input formats, and more.
It meets the standards and supports XSL 1.0, XSL 2.0, XSL: FO, CSS, JavaScript, and all major databases.
In just one simple step, you can access XML, XBRL, and/or database data, process it, and present it in five different output formats - you can even generate a fully functional ASPX web application.
StyleVision has a powerful script editor and Java and COM APIs.
It also includes a built-in HTML importer that can convert web pages into XML files, XSLT stylesheets, and XML schemas.
In addition, the wizard will help you dynamically design stylesheets for financial reporting, including charts from XBRL. You can design and build templates for Authentic, which are Altova's WYSIWYG XML and database content editors.
Authentic forms allow users to directly access and edit XML documents and/or databases without being exposed to XML syntax. Design presentation output in document flow or layout based models. You can even upload blueprint images as a guide for design templates.
You can view the output or XSL code at any time. Style sheets can be based on XML schemas, DTDs, XBRL taxonomies, database structures, and even existing XSLT files, and support business logic validation, charts, complex tables, HTML/CALS tables, barcodes, directories, conditional formatting, direct template filtering, date controls, XML digital signatures, and more.
Deployment has never been so simple - XML, schemas, and all design elements can be distributed in a single Portable XML Format (PXF) file. StyleVision provides 32-bit and 64-bit versions and seamlessly integrates with Visual Studio and Eclipse. Altova StyleVision is the ultimate tool for single source, multi-channel publishing.
