Using XSL to display XML data

Use XSL to add display information to an XML document.

Using XSL to display XML documents
XSL is an extensible Style single language of XML.

XSL (full name: Extensible Style Single language, the extensible Stylesheet Language) is much more powerful than CSS style sheet functionality. One of the main uses of XSL is to convert an XML document into an HTML-formatted file and then to the browser to display the result of the conversion:

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

Display in IE6: View the results in IE 6

Display in IE5: View the results in IE 5
