XML declaration:
<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”ISO-8859-1″?>
It defines the XML version (1.0) and the encoding used (ISO-8859-1 = Latin-1/West European character set).
To further understand the concept, kindly refer to: http://xmlwriter.net/xml_guide/xml_declaration.shtml
XML data is stored in plain text format. This provides a software- and hardware-independent way of storing data. This makes it much easier to create data that can be shared by different applications.
Simply include stylesheet reference after xml declaration: <?xml-stylesheet type=”text/css” href=”stylesheet.css”?>
and do your css via tag names.
For Example:
<BOOK>
<TITLE>7 HABITS</TITLE>
</BOOK>
Inorder to do a css for TITLE simple use TITLE and write a css code for it. TITLE { /* your css code */ }
XSLT stands for eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations. It is far more sophisticated than CSS and is the recommended style sheet language of XML.
XML stands for EXtensible Markup Language, is a markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. It is a markup language much like HTML and was designed to carry data, not to display data.
In Simple terms XML Parser is a XML Processor. It analyzes the markup and passes structured information to an application.
