Abstract: A web publishing enhancement application is discussed that provides a tool for visually creating an enhanced site map for a web site. The site map provides a location for creating web site content and site navigation. A user is also able to edit pages directly from the site map. The present invention also integrates CSS style classes within HTML content. The CSS style classes may be edited simultaneously by multiple users thus allowing the users to work concurrently. Additionally, a user is able to modify HTML code embedded in an XSL template from the site map and have the changes reflected in all of the pages created from the XSL template without knowledge of XSL or the rights of a developer. A page creation tool to create pages for websites using XML schemas, rule sets and XSL to create and edit XML files is also discussed.
