I have a large XML file containing programming api information. Reading it is a pain.

But it is pure XML (not HTML) and thus contains no styling, so I had the notion that if I applied a little styling I could view it in my browser instead of my editor and the <TAG>s would disappear, making it easier to read. The problem is, that much of the salient information is details in tag attributes; and that disappears with the tags once styled. Is there a solution to this that doesn't involve reformatting the whole XML document?

An example of the XML:

<intrinsic tech='MMX' rettype='__m64' name='_m_from_int64'>
    <type>Integer</type>
    <CPUID>MMX</CPUID>
    <category>Convert</category>
    <parameter varname='a' type='__int64'/>
    <description>Copy 64-bit integer "a" to "dst".</description>
    <operation>
dst[63:0] := a[63:0]
    </operation>
    <instruction name='movq' form='mm, r64'/>
    <header>mmintrin.h</header>
</intrinsic>

Specifically, is there any way to style that so that the rettype and name fields are displayed?
