Before you begin

If your users' browsers support XSL, use the XML+XSL Standard Edition template to generate XML. If your audience will not be using browsers that support XSL, use the XML+CSS Standard Edition template, which is described in Understanding and Customizing the XML+CSS Standard Edition Template.

Note: If your source documents are in FrameMaker+SGML, the XML+XSL Standard Edition template is a good choice because it preserves the element hierarchies of the SGML in your source files.

This chapter describes how the XML+CSS Standard Edition template is constructed and how to customize it. Topics include:

As with the XML+CSS Standard Edition template, some of the customization techniques available for the Portable HTML Standard Edition template and Dynamic HTML template also work for the XML+XSL Standard Edition template (except that you will be working with XML coding instead of HTML coding). Make sure that you review the chapters on the Portable HTML Standard Edition and Dynamic HTML templates. As with those templates, you can modify the ASP files to change navigation bars, footers, and so on.
