Examples

A) Downloadable ZIP File

• There are several examples here -- why not download the whole lot as a ZIP file -- nov03.zip -- and install them on your own machine?

B) The Data and Stylesheets

• data.xml -- The original XML data file. There is not <?xml-stylesheet ...?> in this file. A plain text version is available also: data.txt.
• data-1.xml -- This is basically the same as data.xml, but with an xml-stylesheet PI at the beginning of the document referencng a style sheet named transform-1.xsl . Mozilla-based browsers (Mozilla 1+/Netscape 7+) are able to take this XML data file, apply the transform to it, and display the generated HTML. A plain text version of this document is available at data-1.txt.
  The stylesheet is also available, as XML data at transform-1.xsl and as plain text (transform-1.txt).
• data-2.xml -- This is basically the same as data.xml, but with an xml-stylesheet PI at the beginning of the document referencng a style sheet named transform-2xsl , and with an added <item> elemnt at the end nested inside <a>, <b>, and <c> elements. Mozilla-based browsers (Mozilla 1+/Netscape 7+) are able to take this XML data file, apply the transform to it, and display the generated HTML. A plain text version of this document is available at data-2.txt.
  The stylesheet is also available, as XML data at transform-2.xsl and as plain text (transform-2.txt).
