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:

If you have Netscape 6 or IE 5 or higher you can view the XML file and the XSL style sheet.

View the result in IE 6

View the result in IE 5

A shortened copy of the file is shown below. Note the XSL reference in line two:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="simple.xsl"?>
<breakfast_menu>
  <food>
    <name>Belgian Waffles</name>
    <price>$5.95</price>
    <description>
       two of our famous Belgian Waffles
