Schema of xml

[Bill Cunningham]

I know xml stores and transmits data. But I wrote a short piece of code that the browser complained about.

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<gov>judicial</gov>
<j> sandra o'conner </j>

It didn't know what the tags meant. the xml syntax looks good to me. How do I provide the document with the meaning of the tags? CCS, I don't know how to start there. Xpath. I've heard of.

It's not well-formed. YOu must have exactly one root element.

Once you sort out the format of the data, you need to write a style sheet if you want it to be displayed reasonably. If the data is suitable, you could use CSS for this, otherwise you need to use XSLT to convert the data into either html or some other XML format which is suitable for formatting using CSS.

You get started by finding a tutorial somewhere and reading it.
