XML Display
This lesson is part of XML · All levels
Summary
The browser does not display XML as it is; the browser considers XML as data and only displays it as a text tree. To enhance the look, XML can be linked to an XSLT or CSS style sheet via a declaration processing instruction. Without a style sheet, users only see the raw structure of the document.
Key points
- The browser displays XML as a raw data tree, not a designed page
- XML views can be set with XSLT or CSS stylesheets
- Processing instruction <?xml-stylesheet?> connects XML to the stylesheet
- XML does not store display information in its document
- Some applications use XML as a storage format only.
