Please change your file as follows.

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<body>
<p>The content of the body element is displayed in your browser.
</p>
</body>
</html>

The formatter would display the result.

Antenna House XSL Formatter needs Windows printer driver to
