Many current DTDs incorporate ways to deal with some of these issues, but the breadth of the issues leads to more than just a DTD.

These helpers make your work a whole lot easier in trying to conform to a DTD (or in developing one).

With a good framework of base classes in place, you can basically copy a DTD directly into a set of class definitions or initializations.

When parsing XML, UAs do not always read the DTD, and thus may not know what the ID of an element is.

The biggest problem with this was that a naive processor is likely to load that DTD URL, which might be an unwanted network operation.

With your DTD in a format that's more easily understood by Quick, you're almost ready to move to the next step.

In an XML-based DTD, a new set of elements simply needs to be internally consistent and well-formed to be added to an existing DTD.

When an XHTML document is created, the DTD to which it conforms is declared at the top of the document.

Each information type is defined in its own DTD module, which defines only the new elements for that type.

Use parameter entities to pull external declarations into your DTD, or to create in-DTD macros to improve readability.

So your first step in trying to compare two XML documents is to formulate a DTD for both.

In the same way, any DITA element can be extended into a new element whose identifier gets added to the class attribute through its DTD.

With discipline and ingenuity, some of the benefits of topic information sets can be provided through a book DTD.

A variety of such complexities has made it difficult to express in a general way which attributes are meant to have ID semantics.

However, the case for dynamic data in a DTD is not always so easily understood.

And, as I believe this case study shows, the resulting implementation is much like any other XML engine and specific DTD-based application.

Also, Eclipse is able to use the SMIL DTD to control the editing of the underlying code in a SMIL context.

Or you might have seen an XML DTD element defined in an EBNF style.

DITA provides a rich base for specialization because of the general design of elements used in its archetype-like topic DTD.

Before an HTML file can be properly validated, a correct DTD must be added as the first line of the file.

All this DTD and versioning isn't worth much unless you can ensure your documents are valid, and follow the rules in the DTD you specify.

The purpose of a DTD is to define what elements, attributes and entities is legal in an XML document.

This approach tends to encode legacy practices into the resulting DTDs or vocabularies.

The purpose of those projects is to continue to validate the DITA architecture and use the DTD in a product development environment.

But, as if things aren't hairy enough already, not just any DTD will do.

The process of validation checks the XML against a Document Type Definition (DTD), which may be part of the XML or external to it.

XML files that conform to this DTD aren't really XML-oriented; XML simply acts as a convenient serialization of the programming data.

It also has a defined set of metadata that might be shared directly with the metadata models of quite different DTDs or schemas.

This method allows you to provide your own entity resolution, preventing the parser from using the DTD for this task.

A value of standalone=no indicates that the XML document in question depends on an externally defined DTD.

If the DTD is not found, or if Dotfuscator is unable to retrieve it from the network, an error occurs.

The two dominant ways for specifying or defining an XML dialect currently are through a Document Type Definition (DTD) or an XML Schema.

This validation requires you to create your DTD or schema, and then reference the DTD or schema file within your XML files.

The following table shows the difference between loading without validation, with DTD validation, and with XML Schema validation.

This line refers to the DTD or schema (your list of elements and rules) to be used to validate that document.
