Compiling XML Structure Definition and XSL

There are three input files that define presentation and functionality of XML within the editor:

• model.xml - definition of XML structure with supporting information
• XSL stylesheet - stylesheet defines exact rendering of the XML
• CSS stylesheet - styling used in the editing area

To optimize performance and improve user experience, XSL templates and XML structure definition file (model.xml) need to be compiled into corresponded JavaScript resource files.

Output of the compilation process should be placed into editor 'config' directory replacing existing files.

After that they could be consumed by the editor:

Compilation process is simple and involves execution of command line script written in Java. Here is the sample usage of the script:

compile -model model.xml -xsl my_style.xsl

If you would like to compile original model.xml and simple.xsl provided with the editor:

compile -model ../DITAStorm/config/model.xml \
    -xsl ../DITAStorm/config/simple.xsl \ 
    -modeljs ../DITAStorm/config/model.js \
    -xsljs ../DITAStorm/config/simple.xsl.js

Provided command will replace two files: model.js and simple.xsl.js in the original DITAStorm configuration directory.
