In-Depth Information
This chapter shows how to create well-formed documents manually. Figure 12-2a
shows a simple XML document created in Notepad ++. When displayed in or parsed by
a browser or application (Figure 12-2b), this XML document may have little meaning
to a user. Linking the XML document to an XSL style sheet (Figure 12-2c) enables the
browser to display the document in a more readable format (Figure 12-2d).
