Bringing Reusability to Your XML Stylesheets: Property Sets

Arbortext Monster Garage, Season 3: Arbortext TC Dojo, Episode 9

Recorded: November 2014

We go to XML publishing for a lot of reasons. One of which is to achieve reusability of our information: Write it Once, Use it Anywhere.

Often, beginning stylesheet developers will do a lot of repeated style coding to achieve desired output results. Style duplication, like information duplication, makes stylesheets difficult to maintain.

Styler makes it easy to avoid this costly maintenance mistake by adding property sets and user formatting elements to your styling toolbox.

In this session, we'll talk about how to use property sets to make your styling more uniform and easy to maintain.
