Altova StyleVision Professional Edition 2008

Altova StyleVision 2008 Professional Edition is a drag-and-drop, visual XSLT stylesheet designer for graphically designing stylesheets that render eye-catching HTML and RTF output from XML or database content and produce intuitive Authentic electronic forms. StyleVision is fully standards-compliant and supports XSLT 1.0, XSLT 2.0, CSS, JavaScript, and all major databases. It even has a built-in HTML importer that automatically converts an HTML page into an XML file, XSLT stylesheet, and XML Schema to allow Web designers to migrate to XML easily and efficiently. Numerous templates are provided for handling industry standard XML vocabularies such as DITA and DocBook, and you can build your own templates for use with Altova Authentic 2008, Altova's free XML and database content editor. Authentic forms let business users directly access and edit XML documents or relational databases without being exposed to the underlying technology. StyleVision simplifies the creation of advanced XSLT stylesheets and electronic forms with its automated approach to stylesheet writing. The visual design interface is so straightforward; you simply drag and drop XML elements, design features, and presentation rules into your working design, and you are automatically prompted when additional options exist. You can preview your output or XSLT 1.0/2.0 code at any time, so you always know how your project is coming along. Stylesheets designed using StyleVision can be based on XML Schemas, DTDs, or database structures, and can support business logic validation, complex tables, tables of contents, conditional formatting, date control, and much more. In addition, StyleVision designs are modular to facilitate reuse and collaboration between multiple designers. All these features combine to make Altova StyleVision the ultimate tool for single source, multi-channel publishing. Design with style!
