Getting Started
Here are working examples of how to produce HTML Web pages from XML files (in a modest, moderate, and elaborate approach). No special hardware or software is needed to use these examples. A simple text editor and a current Web browser (such as Internet Explorer 6.0+ or Firefox 1.5+) are all that are needed to create these files and display them as Web pages.
Modest
A good starting point when initially learning about XML. This example shows a simple XML file and a simple XSL file that transforms the XML file into HTML for display as a Web page.

An interesting second step that takes the modest XML/XSL files and creates a Navigation Menu and multiple Web pages from one XML file by modifying the XSL.

Here's something closer to a real-world example that combines multiple XML files and XSL files to control the content, presentation, and maintenance of Web pages.
