List display

The central XSL stylesheets for lists can be viewed and edited under"List display" in the Layout / Design area.

Weblication^® lists use their own XSL stylesheet to transform the XML content (list options) in the content file into XHTML and output it.

Click on the"List display" button to open the list template directory in a new tab on the right-hand side.

All XSL stylesheets of a project for different list representations are stored in the lists directory. You can open, display, copy, etc. these for editing using the usual file functions.

By editing an XSLT template , you can define the corresponding templates, which contain the transformation instructions and the resulting XHTML code. This is done directly in the source code, which will not be discussed further here. The general rules for XSL apply (see e.g. SELFHTML article "XML / Representation of XML data").

The contents from the document extension (wd:extension) of the imported files are available to the template via the list function. The other contents of the files can be read in via corresponding xPath functions (see e.g. SELFHTML article "XML / Representation of XML data / XPath functions").
