Adding the stylesheet to the RSS feed

The first step in the process transforms the RSS feed to HTML. This procedure only occurs when the feed is viewed in a web browser so RSS feed readers will ignore it.

Within the RSS file was add the line:

<?xml-stylesheet title="XSL_formatting" type="text/xsl" href="http://www.example.com/rss.xsl"?>

below the xml declaration at the very start of the file. (This assumes the XSL stylesheet is called rss.xsl and hosted at http://www.example.com/).

Here is an example XSL file.

Using CSS to style the transformed RSS feed

The XSL stylesheet in the example above references a CSS stylesheet that can further transform the look of the resulting HTML.

Here is an example CSS file.

The result

An example RSS feed transformed by XSL and CSS
