I really didn't think it would have been possible for you to introduce
more confusion into the conversation, but you've succeeded. Yes, CSS.
XSLT has nothing to do with it. And the idea of a "default" CSS
rendering is fundamental to the idea of browser styling. You really
probably should take my basics tutorial, again at:
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/edu/x-dw-x-xmlcss-i.html
You can probably skip a lot of the slides that go over CSS features, but
you'd get the basics of the XML/CSS mix. Then you could move on to
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/edu/x-dw-x-xmlcss2-i.html
Where I cover linking and other advanced matters (there are examples on
almost every slide)
Sorry to repeat the suggestion, but you *really* seem to need it ;-)
