XSL Stylesheet

XSL stylesheet prescribes how to render a document in WYSIWYG Mode.

Serna comes with stylesheets for supported popular document types, e.g. Docbook stylesheet, DITA stylesheets, TEI stylesheet, etc. You can also develop your own stylesheets. Usually it's better to have a specific stylesheet for your document type, but you can use the generic default stylesheet , if you do not have a specific one.

DITA and Docbook stylesheets come with localizations so that you can change the language of the element content.

In Serna, when you create a new document with a Serna document template, a corresponding stylesheet prescribed by the template is applied automatically. You can also assign the path to some stylesheet other than that prescribed by the selected template.

When you open a document, a corresponding stylesheet is applied automatically by means of a Serna document template that matches the document. You can also open a document with some other template that prescribes another stylesheet.

You can see what XSL Stylesheet is currently applied to your document.
