You should realise that XML defines a syntax and grammar for 
storing data. How that information is intended to be used 
(or displayed) depends on the particular application for which 
it was written.

To examine an XML file generically requires no more than a 
standard text editor. Or you can use an editor (say nedit)
which can interpret the syntax and highlight the structure.

If your XML file came with an XSLT stylesheet, you could use
xsltproc to convert the file to whatever the stylesheet specifies
(that's normally, but doesn't necessarily need to be, HTML).
xsltproc is part of the textproc/libxslt port.

Of course; but this is a very narrow view of the usage of XML. A
stylesheet with many applications of XML just doesn't make sense.
Take for example the XML project files used by MS Visual Studio
to control the compilation, linking and installation of software
from source code.

It is a small text describing the usage of an utility... it describes the 
syntax etc etc but all text is continuous (appears as a stream of text in 
mozilla)... There is no version in txt or html, and can't edit the file to 
remove all the xml tags and give a new format...

I need to open it as is...

Thanks!!
