Display XML data in XSLT pages

After you’ve created an XSLT page and attached an XML data source, you can bind data to the page. To do this, you add
an XML data placeholder to your page and then use the XPath Expression Builder or the Property inspector to format
selected data that will be displayed on the page.

1

Open an XSLT page with an attached XML data source.

2

(Optional) Select Insert > Table to add a table to the page. A table helps you organize your XML data.

Note: In most cases, you use the Repeating Region XSLT object to display repeating XML elements on a page. In this
case, you might want to create a single-row table with one or more columns, or a two-row table if you want to include
a table header.

3

In the Bindings panel, select an XML element and drag it to the place on the page where you want to insert data.
