Using XML and XSL with web pages
Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a language that lets you structure information. Like HTML, XML lets you structure your information using tags, but XML tags are not predefined as HTML tags are. Instead, XML lets you create tags that best define your data structure (schema). Tags are nested within others to create a schema of parent and child tags. Like most HTML tags, all tags in an XML schema have an opening and closing tag.
The following example shows the basic structure of an XML file:

Understanding XML

In this example, each parent tag contains three child tags: , , and <author>. But each <book> <br>tag is also a child tag of the <mybooks> tag, which is one level higher in the schema. You can name and structure XML <br>tags in any way, provided that you nest tags accordingly within others, and assign each opening tag a corresponding <br>closing tag.</p><p style="position:absolute;top:951px;left:139px;white-space:nowrap" class="ft011">XML documents do not contain any formatting—they are simply containers of structured information. Once you have <br>an XML schema, you can use the Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) to display the information. In the way that <br>Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) let you format HTML, XSL lets you format XML data. You can define styles, page <br>elements, layout, and so forth in an XSL file and attach it to an XML file so that when a user views the XML data in a <br>browser, the data is formatted according to whatever you’ve defined in the XSL file. The content (the XML data) and <br>presentation (defined by the XSL file) are entirely separate, providing you with greater control over how your <br>information appears on a web page. In essence, XSL is a presentation technology for XML, where the primary output <br>is an HTML page.</p></div> </div> <div class="manual-page-original" itemscope="itemscope"
