The style
sheets for XML are called the XSL. An XSL is used to display the xml
data in a format that is defined by the user in the xsl file.

XSL
uses Xpath to navigate through the xml document. In an xsl document,
the <xsl:stylesheet> or the <xsl:transform> element is used
as the root element. You can use either of these tags as the root element
since both of them are the same.
In this
tag you have to include the version attribute and the XSLT namespace
in this element. For example a complete tag will look like,
<xsl:stylesheet
version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
The next
step is to create an xsl:template element within which you will using
other xsl elements like xsl:for-each and xsl:value-of to loop through
the elements of the xml file and display the content of the nodes.
You can
embed the style sheet in the xml file itself so that when a user opens
the xml file the content is displayed according to the formatting information
found in the xsl file.
