HTML and XML

Though HTML and XML are both markup languages, each technology has a very different purpose: HTML is used to describe how data is displayed on a Web page, while XML is employed to describe the data itself. XML is not a replacement for HTML; in fact, the two technologies can complement one another when XML is used to represent data that is output in HTML or XHTML format online.

This common scenario requires the ability to convert XML to HTML / XHMTL and convert HTML to XML.

Publish XBRL to HTML

StyleVision

As an increasing number of companies use XBRL to store and report financial data, the need for a way to publish that data becomes more pressing. With StyleVision you can render XBRL data in multiple formats, including HTML.

Simply design a template by dragging and dropping concepts into the design window or by using the XBRL Chart Wizard or XBRL Table Wizard to create powerful visual representations of your financial data. StyleVision makes it easy to customize the table structure and specify the concepts to include in the report. You can render the data in HTML as well as in RTF, PDF, and Word 2007+ – all from the same design.

Need to provide updated financial data? Simply assign new source data to your stylesheet design and the new data will be reflected in the HTML (and associated RTF, PDF, and Word 2007+) output.

The US-GAAP taxonomy provides, in addition to the hierarchical organization in its presentation linkbase, some best practices information on how to structure accounting concepts in XBRL. Simply select US-GAAP mode and StyleVision will automatically output the data according to this information.

A sample XBRL instance file can be assigned to the taxonomy so that the progression of the design can be viewed on-the-fly by clicking the preview buttons at the bottom of the screen. Users can also view the corresponding XSLT 1.0, XSLT 2.0, or XSL:FO code that creates these renderings at any time.

The XSLT and XSL:FO-powered publishing templates autogenerated by StyleVision can be incorporated into highly financial reporting workflows to create a repeatable process. Because the overall structure of an organization's XBRL reports are likely to remain the same, XBRL financial statements can be automatically output in HTML, PDF, and Word at any time based on the original stylesheet design and the updated financial data. StyleVision gives XBRL users the ability to access the separation of structure and presentation that the XML specification provides.

Publish Database Data to HTML

StyleVision

StyleVision is also a powerful database reporting tool that allows you to design stylesheets based on a database (or XML or XBRL source data) to generate report output to HTML, RTF, PDF, and Word 2007+ (OOXML) – all from a single design.

StyleVision supports all the most widely-used relational databases, including:

  • Microsoft® SQL Server® 2000, 2005, 2008
  • IBM DB2® 8, 9
  • IBM DB2 for iSeries® v5.4, 6.1
  • Oracle® 9i, 10g, 11g
  • Sybase® 12
  • MySQL® 4, 5
  • PostgreSQL 8
  • Microsoft Access™ 2003, 2007

To design an HTML page in StyleVision, simply connect to the required tables in your database – the Database Wizard will generate a connection string that will be stored with the design. Then you can create your design using StyleVision’s drag-and-drop functionality and rich formatting options.

Based on your design, StyleVision automatically creates stylesheets to output your design to HTML. Of course StyleVision simultaneously generates stylesheets for output to RTF, PDF, and Word 2007+ as well. All four output formats are generated from one easy-to-create design!

A fifth output format, the Authentic electronic form is also automatically generated. The Authentic eForm provides a word processor-style interface for non-technical users to edit databases using Authentic, which is available free of charge on the Altova Web site.

Convert HTML to XML

StyleVision

Developers seeking to take advantage of the flexibility that XML-based Web sites afford will want to consider StyleVision to assist with the conversion.

StyleVision will convert HTML from existing Web pages to XML – simply import the HTML file and drag elements from the page as rendered in the design window into the XML Schema.

convert html tp xml

StyleVision will generate an XSLT stylesheet, an XML Schema, and an XML instance file based on your selections.

In addition to allowing you to convert an HTML-based Web site to a more flexible XML-based design, this functionality will also provide you with the ability to use the stylesheet, Schema, and XML instance file generated during the conversion in other applications.
