For this tutorial, you will create a Sales.xml file.

To create the Sales.xml file

1. Use the Copy and Paste commands to place the following text into your HTML editor.

   <?xml version="1.0" ?>
   <sales>
      <summary>
         <heading></heading> 
         <subhead></subhead> 
         <description></description> 
      </summary>
      <data>
         <region>
            <name></name> 
            <quarter number="" books_sold="" /> 
            <quarter number="" books_sold="" /> 
            <quarter number="" books_sold="" /> 
            <quarter number="" books_sold="" /> 
         </region>
         <region>
            <name></name> 
            <quarter number="" books_sold="" /> 
            <quarter number="" books_sold="" /> 
            <quarter number="" books_sold="" /> 
            <quarter number="" books_sold="" /> 
         </region>
         <region>
            <name></name> 
            <quarter number="" books_sold="" /> 
            <quarter number="" books_sold="" /> 
            <quarter number="" books_sold="" /> 
            <quarter number="" books_sold="" /> 
         </region>
      </data>
   </sales>
   

2. Save the file as Sales.xml.

3. To view the file in Internet Explorer, open Sales.xml.

The next step is to create the XML style sheet that will create a sales report from this data.
