I couldn’t google a good explanation about them.
W3 only has a little paragraph about them. Can anybody explain them in a clear form please? What are they used for? What does the “Processing instructions (PIs) allow documents to contain instructions for applications” definition from W3 mean? Are they still useful or long forgotten and substituted by something else?

    Can anybody explain them in a clear form please?

    That paragraph is clear. They provide a way to give an application an instruction.

    It isn’t detailed, but that is because any specifics depend on the particular PI.

    What are they used for?

    • Describing the encoding and version of XML
    • Pointing to a stylesheet
    • Embedding executable code
    • Many other things
