Re: XSL and XML

 Shane,

If you are including Gecko in your requirements, then you can't use XSL. You
must use CSS. The CSS-2 spec provides a quick but nice tutorial on how to
write CSS rules for XML - http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/intro.html#q2 -. It
isn't really any different than writing for HTML except that the 'display'
property is neccessary.

I've noticed that IE5 doesn't like DOCTYPE declarations when using CSS. It
may not make sense but I've had trouble mixing the two.

For CSS specific information, you might try
comp.infosystems.www.authoring.stylesheets , a newsgroup. They love talking
about CSS.
