XML CSS

CSS is typically used to style and layout HTML documents, not XML.

Syntax

CSS syntax for XML validation:

<?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="mystyle.css"?>

Example

Here is an example of how to use CSS for XML validation:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE note SYSTEM "Note.dtd">
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="mystyle.css"?>
<note>
    <to>Tove</to>
    <from>Jani</from>
    <heading>Reminder</heading>
    <body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>
</note>

Output

The output of the above example will be an XML document with a stylesheet linked to it.

Explanation

CSS can be used to style a linked XML document just like it can be used to style HTML documents. When an XML document is linked to a CSS file, the CSS file can specify how the XML document should be displayed in a browser.

Use

Use CSS to style and format linked XML documents, making them more readable and aesthetically pleasing.

Important Points

  • CSS can be used to style XML documents just like HTML documents.
  • Use the <?xml-stylesheet> processing instruction to link an XML document to a stylesheet.
  • The markup language for the XML document being styled is still used to structure the document, while CSS is only used for presentation purposes.

Summary

CSS can be used to style linked XML documents, making them more readable and visually pleasing. Use the <?xml-stylesheet> processing instruction to link an XML document to a CSS stylesheet.
