Greetings!
Perhaps this is a naive question, but I've gotten the impression that
Microsoft Internet Explorer is fairly capable of parsing XML. When I
open a bare xml file with no DOCTYPE, it happily shows it as a formatted
tree. If I hand it a DocBook document, however, it complains that it
needs a stylesheet.
This seems to make sense. After all, it can't be expected, I suppose,
to have a built in stylesheet for every XML application under the sun.
Is there a way to point it to a stylesheet? If so, will that work?
Even if it only speaks CSS, I would imagine that CSS would be enough
to enable rudimentary display of DocBook documents. My XML skills are
fairly poor, so if this is a simple question of adding one line to the
document, please bear with me!
Thank you!
