• Save your project as an XSL stylesheet
  Projects can now be saved as XSL stylesheets to be used with an XSLT processors to generate XSL-FO. An XSL stylesheet has all the layout functionality, but does not support some of the calculation and processing capabilities of the Runtime Engine.
• A newly designed GUI to provide for ease of operations
  The GUI has been designed so that complex setting can be done intuitively. This includes:
  • A display of the XML structure of your data that enables you to easily set the XML paths of the individual elements by dragging and dropping the elements to wherever you want them mapped to the design of the report or form.
  • Objects in the layout pane can be assigned variable names. Both the XML path and the variable names can then easily be inserted into expressions by simply clicking on them in the Object tree or the Reference XML Structure tree on the GUI.
  • Multiple XML paths to text elements can be arranged in a single text object. This lets you combine multiple XML elements together for formatting (i.e. FirstName LastName).
  • When you begin a new project a set of Navigation dialogues guides you through inputting all the necessary items to get started.
  • XSL Report Designer lets you arrange the various Windows in the display. You can even choose to hide the Windows if you do not need them while working on a project.
  • The menus have been organized to provide for easy access to all the tasks required when developing a new form or report.
  • The Properties Pane provides for easy access to all the formatting and processing information about each object on the Layout. As you click on an object the Properties Pane shows all the information about the object. The object can then be easily modified right from the Property Pane.
  • Now as you work with XSL Report Designer, each dialogue book has a help button. The toolbar can easily be customized to provide quick access to the most commonly used functions.
• New features
  XSL Report Designer now supports working with TSV/CSV data in addition to supporting new objects such as horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines in the design.
  • TSV(Tab Separated Values) and CSV(Comma Separated Values) file can be specified as reference data.
  • "Line" object to draw horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines.
  • Many new properties have been added to enhance the formatting and processing capabilities of XSL Report Designer.
