Use CSS to present XML

• CSS can be used to present the XML content
  • more details should be given (define blocks, inlines, etc)
  • CSS2 has very powerful mechanisms:
    • insertion of text before or after an element
    • selection based on any attribute (not only "class")
    • definition of table rows, coloumns, and cells
    • aural stylesheet for voice based presentations
• This is how you 'attach' it to an XML file:

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

• Examples:
  • a CSS file for a simple list
  • a CSS file for a presentation with tables
