Altova StyleVision 2010 Enterprise Edition is a powerful visual stylesheet designer for transforming XML, XBRL, and database data into HTML, RTF, PDF, and OOXML/Word 2007 output, and creating e-Forms. It is standards-compliant and supports XSLT 1.0, XSLT 2.0, XSL:FO, CSS, JavaScript, and all major databases. StyleVision is optimized for single source publishing. In one simple step you can access XML, XBRL, and/or database data, process it, and render it in five different output formats. It even has a built-in HTML importer that converts a Web page into an XML file, XSLT stylesheet, and XML Schema. StyleVision also includes an XBRL Table Wizard for dynamically designing stylesheets for rendering financial statements from XBRL. 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 Authentic 2010, Altova’s WYSIWYG XML and database content editor. Authentic forms let users directly access and edit XML documents and/or databases without being exposed to the underlying technology. The StyleVision interface offers two different paradigms for designing presentation output: in a document-flow or layout-based model. You can even upload a blueprint image to use as a guide for your design template. Output or XSL code can be viewed at any time. Stylesheets can be based on XML Schemas, DTDs, XBRL taxonomies, and database structures, and support business logic validation, complex tables, tables of contents, conditional formatting, direct template filtering, date control, and much more. StyleVision integrates fully with Visual Studio and Eclipse, allowing you to access its graphical interface and design capabilities directly from within your favorite IDE. All these features combine to make Altova StyleVision the ultimate tool for single source, multi-channel publishing. Design with style!
