The Designer provides a user-friendly interface for designing visual layout and formatting to display
the data content returned from the query design. The designer displays a logical representation of a document
page and provides a rich set of tools to format the page sections, create and format visual components to
add to that page and link data content to these visual components. All formatting applied in the designer
is CSS based. XSL style sheets are used to transform XML document design templates to HTML content
