Aside from getting the syntax right (e.g., a la David Carlisle), please *DO NOT* abuse styles this way. Don't embed them. Give the elements to be styled a class, or id if you must handle them individually, but don't style them within elements. That makes for a nightmare if someone wants to change the styling, and adds a lot of visual clutter that makes it harder to understand the markup if you have to read it. You can specify a CSS stylesheet to be applied to the XML document, in a stylesheet processing instruction.

Why do I get that error message? I want to specify CSS styling at the top of the XML document (and use it inside many span tags in the XML document). What's the right way to accomplish this? /Roger
