CSS and XML

[nlbrt]

Hi All,

forgive me if this is a silly question, but i'm not too sure how to do this without reading through a whole XML tutorial

I have a site (very small one) that is in html and uses CSS. I need to convert this site to XML (don't ask why). Now, could I just slap the CSS in the XML page as is or would it need to be different?

It really depends on what you're using it for. What's the purpose of the XML file?

I'm not sure if just using the CSS in your XML file would work.

What's the XML file for?

[Xav]

I suppose you could always use individual semantic tags for each style inside the main <style> tag.

I am also curious as to why you need to make an XML page. What can you do with it that you can't do with regular HTML and CSS?

[chili5]

Yeah that was what I was wondering.

What is the XML file? Couldn't you just use an HTML file with CSS?

[Xav]

Maybe it's for a generic file that transfers data or something, but I can't see any reason to convert to XML. Besides, XML is a means of transferring data, not displaying pages.
