in reply to Can you style XMLwith CSS to display tag attributes?

It's possible since CSS2, although in the long run you'd probably be happier with XSLT or a manual transform, e.g. XML::Twig.

* { display: block; }
type:before { content: "Type: " }
CPUID:before { content: "CPUID: " }
/* etc */
intrinsic:before { content: "intrinsic name="
    attr(name) ", rettype=" attr(rettype) }

    That works perfectly for my purpose. Thank you.

    Not so much. The source (from the Intel website) seems to change pretty regularly -- the current version was update 26th May, 2015 -- so I'd rather just have a local style sheet that will allow me to read it once I download it, rather than have to go through a bunch of manipulations each time it changes.

    I'm not trying to make it pretty; just readable; and only for me.

      That can all bhe automated: one Perl script to download the file at regular intervals; transform it through XSLT and save it on your hard-disk as HTML: ready for you to double-click it and read it in your browser.

There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James

        What I've got works fine and doesn't require any further effort.

        A bonus is I don't have to go anywhere near XSLT :)
