Create and edit retrieval styles

To create or edit retrieval styles, you edit the retrieval styles file in a text or XML editor. Read Location and Structure of Retrieval Styles first to get an overview of how this file is structured.

The following procedure provides you the basic steps to add a new style. For details on each XML element, refer to the corresponding subsection.

To create a new style:

1. Under the styleCollection element, add a retrievalStyle element.

2. Under the retrievalStyle element, add a styleName elements for each locale in which you want to use the style. For more information, see retrievalStyle XML Element.

3. Decide at which trend durations you want to switch retrieval options. Under your retrievalStyle element, add duration elements for each of these "switching points." For more information, see duration XML Element.

4. For each duration element, add retrieval elements as needed to define retrieval types. For more information, see retrieval XML Element.
