Display XML without CSS and XSL

[Zhidian Du]

Hello,

I have a program, whose output are XML files (at least 100 K) but there is no the CSS file to control its display.

Is there any programs that can generate a CSS form these XML files?

How can I display it use browsers? I do not need perfect appearances, but just let browser can display their basic hierarchical structures.

Thanks.

I don't know one, but it should be possible to write one that will keep indenting for structure until it hits element types with mixed content, then treat those as inline like paragraphs.

But if your XML is tabular data instead of normal text, you're stuck.
*You* have to supply the CSS to tell *it*, not the other way round.

Open it in Emacs with psgml-mode and hit C-c C-q to reveal the structure by indentation.
