I took an action item last week to find some XML documents on the Web
styled with CSS.
(1) Bert Bos has some examples, and also raises some problems, at
http://www.w3.org/Style/styling-XML.en.html
(2) Jesper Tverskov discusses CSS used for RSS (mostly ignored by
Web browsers, he claims) and gives an example of "generic" XML
with CSS
http://www.xmlplease.com/xmlcss
However, I found quite a few people writing about (and using)
the technique of using CSS in their RSS feeds via the PI.
(3) W3Schools always comes up high in search results...
http://www.w3schools.com/xml/cd_catalog_with_css.xml
is a not-very-useful example linked to from
http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_display.asp
(4) http://www.badgers-in-foil.co.uk/projects/docbook-css/
includes CSS for use with DocBook documents so you can view them
in Mozilla or Opera (dates from November 1994)
(5) http://tutorials.jenkov.com/svg/svg-and-css.html
notes that you can style SVG with CSS using the xml-stylesheet PI
(6) Eliot Rusty Harold recommends using multiple xml-stylesheet PIs
with CSS, so that the styles are merged:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-tipstyl/index.html
(7) (a guess) I suspect almost all "real world" examples are going to be
in Intranets, because of the SEO impact of not using (X)HTML. Pretty
much all the text-books on XML talk about using CSS for XML.
(8) The XXE editor from Active Minds uses the xml-stylesheet PI with
CSS to style the document for editing, as does oXygen XML in
Author mode. Stylus Studio also does this, and possibly XMetaL.
(9) The mozilla developer network hs an example at
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/Getting_Started/XML_data
(as do many other sites and tutorials).
I could look into this some more if it would be of use...
