With XSL you can add display information to your XML document.

Displaying XML with XSL

XSL is the preferred style sheet language of XML.

XSL (the eXtensible Stylesheet Language) is far more sophisticated than CSS. One way to use XSL is to transform XML into HTML before it is displayed by the browser as demonstrated in these examples:

View the XML file, the XSL style sheet, and View the result.

Below is a fraction of the XML file. The second line, <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="simple.xsl"?>, links the XML file to the XSL file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="simple.xsl"?>
