Overview

What is a view template ?

You can share part of a configuration file between several data view by using parametrable view templates. A view template is a XSL stylesheet that creates one or several <view> elements from a <view-template> element.

A view template can be instantiated by using the <view-template> element. The element <view-template> has the same attributes and child elements as a data view, except that it can not specify any adaptor. A <view-template> is configured by using <parameter> elements as in adaptors.
