Styles

It is often useful to apply the same attributes to a whole section of XML. In order to do so, you can include such attributes in the special <style> </style> tag. All of the attributes in the style tag are applied to the elements it contains.

External configuration files

You can also include external configuration files in your XML. To do this, use a tag like this: <include file="filename"/>
