How to embed an XML source example into a HTML page   spacer
  You are writing about XML documents and would like to include some examples in your article. The source cannot be inserted as is because it would interfere with the ordinary markup (be it XML or HTML...) so the first idea is to insert it with the characters < and > replaced with their corresponding entity names &lt; and &gt;, but if you modifiy the example you have to redo the procedure ...
There is another solution, although not perfect, which is to use an XSL transform to do the job, with the added benefit that with a specific CSS you can control the presentation.
How it was solved   spacer
  Here an example for XML source:
Source of page_ex.xml
(The preamble is highlighted in red and the XML markup in blue.)
                        

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE page SYSTEM "page_ex.dtd">
<?xml:stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="page_ex.xsl"?>


                        <page
                         name="page_ex.html"
                           
	home="javascript:history.go(-1)"
                           
	next="index.html">

  
                        <title
                        >Example of XML document converted to HTML</title>
  
                        <sections
                        >
    
                        <section
                        >
      
                        <title
                        >First section</title>
      
                        <body
                        >This is a simple example of page with two sections.
        In the second section also HTML elements are used to fine
        tune the presentation.
      </body>
    
                        </section>
    
                        <section
                        >
      
                        <title
                        >Second section</title>
      
                        <body
                        >As a rule a page on this site corresponds to a document
        although not always contained within one window.
        <br
                        />The page element has a number of attributes:
        <ul
                        >
        
                        <li
                        >home, next, previous (navigation control)</li>
        
                        <li
                        >classification, description, keywords (meta tags)</li>
        
                        </ul>
      
                        </body>
    
                        </section>
  
                        </sections>

                        </page>
