You've got questions -- and this book has the answers. Here's the short version: XML enables Web authors to create their own, novel tags, which can be used to capture the nuances of information in Web pages. And what's more, XML-capable browsers can detect the underlying logic of these tags, and display the tagged information beautifully using style sheet languages such as CSS or XSL. In short, XML explodes all the restrictions HTML imposes, and gives you, the Web author, almost unlimited freedom to express your data. That's why Internet experts agree that XML will play an increasingly important role in Web publishing -- and may soon displace HTML as the best possible medium for authoring Web pages.
