The most important elements of a document type customization are represented by an XML Schema
to define the XML structure, the CSS to render the information and the XML instance template
which links the first two together.
CSS Stylesheet
A set of rules must be defined for describing how the XML document is to be rendered into the Oxygen Author. This is done using Cascading Style Sheets or CSS on short. CSS is a language used to describe how an HTML or XML document should be formatted by a browser. CSS is widely used in the majority of websites.
The XML Instance Template
Based on the XML Schema and the CSS file the Oxygen Author can help the content author in loading, editing and validating the test reports. An XML file template must be created, a kind of skeleton, that the users can use as a starting point for creating new test reports. The template must be generic enough and refer the XML Schema file and the CSS stylesheet.
