Updates in 2012

• Composite Styles - You now have even more control over how output content is formatted with support for composite styles in StyleVision. In Version 2012 you can use XPath to build a composite that controls multiple style features of a single attribute. In addition, composite styles can now be applied to RTF, Word, and PDF as well as HTML and Authentic electronic forms.
• Assigning dynamic class values to RTF, Word, and PDF output - In the past StyleVision users have been able to use XPath to assign class dynamically in HTML and Authentic – now this functionality has been extended to RTF, Word, and PDF as well.
• Choose CSS file via XPath - StyleVision offers a great deal of flexibility around output formatting by supporting multiple CSS files in a single design. Now you can exert even more control through the use of XPath to select individual CSS files for output to HTML and Authentic electronic forms based on end user input or other parameters. The XPath is evaluated at the beginning of output processing so that you can easily change the appearance of the entire document – a single CSS or all CSS files associated with the design can be selected.
• Support for HTML5 and CSS3 - StyleVision 2012 now supports HTML5 and CSS3 styles. HTML output mode is selected via the same dialog box used to select Internet Explorer compatibility. CSS3 styles (e.g., background-size, font-stretch) can be added in the Styles or Properties entry helper window or called from an external CSS.
• JDBC database driver support - StyleVision now supports JDBC drivers to make it even easier for Java developers as well as others to connect to databases. The Database Connection Wizard makes it easy to configure the JDBC connection – simply enter the connection string and select a valid JDBC driver from the dropdown to enable a connection.
• Java API - In response to multiple user requests, Altova is pleased to announce the introduction of a completely revamped native Java API. With the introduction of this new native Java API, you can write code that accesses methods and properties in StyleVision from Java applications.  Java developers can now more easily automate StyleVision functionality in Java projects – without having to adapt the COM API. This provides even more flexibility for users working with Java.
• New samples for API use - StyleVision now includes several code samples in JScript, C#, and Java that demonstrate how to utilize the Java or COM API to automate StyleVision from different development environments.
• Search in Project Window - StyleVision’s robust design capabilities mean that users are developing ever more sophisticated projects with multiple folders and sub-folders. Altova has now made it easier to find files in large projects by enabling users to search in the project window– flexible search options make locating files even faster. Simply highlight the title bar in the project window and press Ctrl-F to invoke the Search dialog box.
