XML is a rather deep subject for this forum. XML is just a document markup language, similar to HTML, but much more powerful. I use XML with PHP as a document storage format and also as a data persistance engine. There are some excellent articles on XML and using XML with PHP available at http://www.devshed.com

Yes. That is what I want to do. If I download XML parser and edit XML documents, can IE5 support it?

IE 5 does support XML. I have had problems with XSL(T) displaying correctly, but straight XML is pretty easy. If you want to format an XML document into a web output, you may want to look into using PHP and its Sablotron extension to apply XSL(T) style sheets to XML. Again, www.devshed.com has some excellent articles on XML/XSL and PHP.
