Styling XML Content with CSS

Fortunately, due to its relative simplicity, there are no optical illusions associated with CSS (Cascading Style Sheets); all of the visual 'trickery' in CSS is made possible with clear and concise style properties. CSS allows you to attach formatting styles to individual elements within an XML document. These styles are then used to determine how the elements in the document are rendered for display within a web browser. Even though the XML language doesn't inherently include any mechanism for defining how a document looks, CSS makes it possible to add a view to XML documents.
