6.1 Presentation of XML documents : CSS and XSL
An XML document does not in itself (except, of course, in the case of XHTML pages) carry the presentation information that enables it to be formatted on a given medium: it must therefore be accompanied by a formatting specification, or style sheet. This term evokes a declarative formalism in which a set of rules associates XML element types with presentation properties, in a way that may depend on the context of the element's occurrence.
There are in fact two standardized style sheet formalisms applicable to XML: Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and XSL (eXtensible Stylesheet Language).

The wealth of information available on XML is considerable, whether in the form of books, articles or online information. The books currently available cover the whole spectrum, from introductory works to advanced guides for programmers on standards, tools and APIs.
Among the most interesting websites are the following three, which act as gateways to the XML world.
