CSS and XML

Hi All,

forgive me if this is a silly question, but i'm not too sure how to do this without reading through a whole XML tutorial

I have a site (very small one) that is in html and uses CSS. I need to convert this site to XML (don't ask why). Now, could I just slap the CSS in the XML page as is or would it need to be different?

Do you mean XHTML? That's simply a matter of using the correct DOCTYPE and getting rid of deprecated tags/attributes.

your question in not correct. For converting site to xml you need to output all the contents on xml tags and no html tags. At the time of sending them to browser you can use that xml content to use with css or html tags.

I would recommend using an XSL to display the XML as HTML.
