Eh? Try this trivial example in Mozilla ... paste into two files
- dogs.xml ---------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="dogs.css" type="text/css" title="dogs"?>
<Family>Dogs
<Group>Terriers
<Breed>Westie</Breed>
<Breed>Scottie</Breed>
<Breed>Cairn</Breed>
</Group>
<Group>Hounds
<Breed>Beagle</Breed>
<Breed>Basset Hound</Breed>
<Breed>Blood Hound</Breed>
</Group>
</Family>
--------------------------------------------------------------------
- dogs.css ---------------------------------------------------------
Family {
margin-left: 10%;
}
Group {
margin-left: 2em;
}
Family, Group {
display: block;
color: #000000;
font-weight: bold;
}
Breed {
display: list-item;
list-style-type: square;
color: #006600;
margin-left: 2em;
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I get a lot of raw sample data for prototyping in XML format, and a
lot of it stays that way :-)
The above example can also be melded into an XHTML page and all the
markup still works just fine though it doesn't match any actual DTD ...
