Prerequisite: Make sure you followed the procedure in the Installing section.

The following procedure provides a simple example for using Oxygen PDF Chemistry to style an XML document:

  1. Start with a simple XML document to test the installation. Save it as my_doc.xml. 
    <article>
   <title>Hello World!</title>
   <p>My first document.</p>
</article>
  2. Create a CSS stylesheet in the same folder. Save it as my_style.css. 
    article, title, p {
   display: block
}
                    
title {
   font-size:larger;
   border-bottom: 1pt solid blue;
}
  3. Open a command-line console, change directory to the folder that contains your samples, and invoke: 
    chemistry -in my_doc.xml -css my_style.css -out my_doc.pdf
  4. Open the result in your PDF reader.
