Implicit StyleMaps make it much easier to create StyleMaps. To create an implicit style map, simply set the values of the kml_target_style_normal and kml_target_style_highlight format attributes to the ids of style elements for the normal and highlight states. The writer will take care of creating the required StyleMap element as needed.
