"content: processing-instruction-target();" would have been simpler and more efficient. See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/csssupport/pi_comments.html > to my customized stylesheet.

Excerpts of http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/csssupport/pi_comments.html --- Comments and processing instructions may have replaced content but not generated content (:before, :after). --- Therefore, "*:processing-instruction():before" has not much meaning for XMLmind XML Editor. I would recommend to do *nothing* *at* *all*: [1] All processing instructions are by default displayed and editable. [2] You can see their targets in the node path bar. If you really, really, want to recognize dbfo and dbhtml at a glance, well, simply colorize them. For example: --- *:processing-instruction(dbfo) { color: navy; background-color: yellow; } *:processing-instruction(dbhtml) { color: maroon; background-color: yellow; } --- > (And why can't the editor treat a PI as "just another node"?) I'm sorry but XMLmind XML Editor has a lot of such limitations. It will take years to remove just a few of them.
