Creating html

When I make up my own random tag (ex. <poopy>) and use it in a standard html file, the webbrowser does not know what to do with it so it is naturally ignored.

When I do this, can I also link in an xml stylesheet, in xslt, to tell the webbrowser how to treat the new tag.

I am not creating an xml file, persay. I am creating a new html tag to be used amongst other html tags. I simply need to define what the new tag needs to do.

Anotherwords... my html will look like this...

<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<img src=http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/"">

<RandomNewTag>
Hello World
</RandomNewTag>

</body>
</html>


and I have an xsl file that says something like....

<xsl:template match="RandomNewTag">

<table border="2">
<tr>

<td>
<xsl:value-of select="/" />
</td>

</tr>
</table>

</xsl:template>


My objective is to create and define the function of a brand new tag. Anyone can create a new tag to use in an html document, but unless that browser knows what to do with it then the tag will simply be ignored.

Is there a way of doing this? Reminder, I am not trying to create an xml file in the normal sense of the word. Simply, I am adding new tags to my html with their own predefined functions for sake of my own ease of design and coding.
