Your First Document

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:

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>

Create a CSS stylesheet in the same folder. Save it as my_style.css.

article, title, p {
   display: block
}
                    
title {
   fonts-size:larger;
   border-bottom: 1pt solid blue;
}

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
```
Open the result in your PDF reader.
