Using CSS within an XSLT Style Sheet
You can utilize the benefits of both CSS and XSLT by using CSS within an XSLT style sheet. The following example shows you how to do this:
XML document (sample.xml)
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="sample.xsl"?>
<book-review>
<book>
<headline><title>A Good Book</title></headline>
<headline><author>Robert Brown</author></headline>
<headline><publisher>The Publisher</publisher></headline>
<headline><date>Feb. 16, 2000</date></headline>
</book>
<Review><title>A Good Book</title> by <author>Rober Brown</author>,
published by <publisher>The Publisher</publisher> on
<date>Feb. 16, 2000</date>, is indeed a very good book.
</Review>
</book-review>
XSLT Style Sheet with CSS (sample.xsl)
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<STYLE>
.title {color:red}
.author {font-style:italic}
.publisher {color:olive}
.date {color:blue}
</STYLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<xsl:apply-templates />
</BODY>
</HTML>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="book">
<P>
<xsl:for-each select="headline">
<DIV ALIGN="CENTER"><xsl:apply-templates /></DIV>
</xsl:for-each>
</P>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="title">
<SPAN class="title"><xsl:value-of select="."/></SPAN>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="author">
<SPAN class="author"><xsl:value-of select="."/></SPAN>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="publisher">
<SPAN class="publisher"><xsl:value-of select="."/></SPAN>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="date">
<SPAN class="date"><xsl:value-of select="."/></SPAN>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="review">
<P><xsl:apply-templates /></P>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
