How to Embed HTML in XML Using XSL to Extract
XML files let you lay out HTML data using XML tags that you can call from an XSL file. XSL is a stylesheet for an XML file. These three coding languages come together to lay out and display information on a Web page or in a custom application you set up in an internal, corporate environment. You add the HTML content using different XML tags and reference these tags in your XSL file.
