Overview
Course Code TRN-2228-T
Course Length 3 Days
This three-day course teaches the concepts for creating one or more stylesheets for authoring, for editing window display, paged and web outputs.
In this course, you will learn how to code stylesheet categories that affect the Arbortext window display and paged output, and how to apply context, position and conditional-based formatting. You will also learn how to use derivation and property sets to design a stylesheet that is easy to maintain. You will learn how to create and apply page sets, preview multiple outputs while developing StylerSheets, and export stylesheets to multiple types. Finally, you will test your stylesheet to ensure its success.
At the end of the course, you will have a working knowledge of techniques for specifying format for Arbortext window display, multiple outputs and stylesheet formats, familiarity with relevant documentation, and the resources to investigate formatting options not directly covered.
Pro/FICIENCY assessments will be provided in order for you to assess your understanding of the course materials. The assessment results will also identify the class topics that require further review. At the end of the class, you will take an assessment via your PTC University account.
