Hi, Unfortunately none of the workarounds suggested so far have quite the goodness Michele needs, in a pedagogical context, where she would like her students to be washed in a wave of startled satisfaction at the end of their course, on seeing their hard-edged, pointy-bracketed code magically dressed for the ball by their favorite computer application, namely their well-worn web browser, no extension, no fussy download. Without that file system view this might still be possible, but not as easy. However, I am also not sure we are not already past that point. Michele, is this for a web-literate audience (who knows about HTML, CSS and servers), or are they really neophytes to markup-based information processing? A couple of my demos at https://wendellpiez.github.io/XMLjellysandwich/ offer hints of what is possible today, but there is much more to be done in this area. I believe magic is still possible even without the xml-stylesheet PI over the file system. But it'll be somewhat different.
