Sue OshekaSubject: DTD
Author: Sue Osheka
Date: 21 Aug 2001 02:49 PM
I am a newbie. I thought I would get that out-of-the-way.
I am creating a DTD. all I want is PCDATA on my element, but that option is only available if you select new modifier. Assume I do not want any modifier, I just want PCDATA. how do I do it

Hi Sue,
unfortunately what you are seeing is a behavior that Stylus inherits from
Xerces, the XML parser it uses. So, you are required to define a Zero Or
More modifier having a #PCDATA child to achieve what you want.
However, I am filing a PCR to simplify this, so it could be that in the
future you will be able to just add a #PCDATA node as the element definition.

Thanks for the response. Another question, I can go into the "text" tab, delete out the *, so that only PCDATA remains. The schema tab still incorrectly reads "0 or more". At this point, if I save my file, and open it in notepad, it is saved without the *. Confusing, isn't it?

That's the Xerces behavior I am referring to; when the parser sees a
(#PCDATA) definition, it reports it to Stylus as a (#PCDATA)*. When Stylus
saves the DTD, it changes it on the fly to the correct DTD syntax (no *).
So, to keep the tree view consistent between what you see when you load an
existing file and what you enter manually, we chose to require a 'Zero Or
More' modifier to be the parent of the #PCDATA entry.
