Xport Interface: stylesheet overview

Xport's stylesheet type alias, (and other aliases typed from xhtml_stylesheet), encapsulates an xhtml stylesheet.

You will create a stylesheet object anytime you wish to create an external stylesheet or an embedded stylesheet. The stylesheet class includes parsing operations, but writing operations are contained in stylesheet_formatter.

Stylesheet contains only a few vital operations, listed below. A stylesheet object can contain rules, comments, and import declarations. All of these are added to a stylesheet object via stylesheet's add_item() operation.

The type alias that you use for your stylesheet depends on the character type you wish to use. The list below reveals the two type aliases for Xport's stylesheet.
