Cascading Style Sheets/Applying CSS to XML
Reference material by Wikibooks contributors. This retains its source identity and is not 411 news reporting.
To apply a stylesheet to an XML document, place the modified following example into the prolog of the XML document.
<?xml-stylesheet href="style.css" type="text/css"?>
Any XML declaration, such as <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>, must precede the stylesheet processing instruction.
This applies to XHTML too, if it is served with the correct MIME type: application/xhtml+xml.
A complete example, with an XML declaration and a stylesheet processing instruction:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="rss_style.css" type="text/css"?>
<rss version="2.0">
