I'm a developer at AgentSoft Ltd. We create tools for Web Automation and are now trying to make our inteligant agents work with XML. In trying to create a Dtd parser I came across several unclear things for example the usage of white spaces in the dtd.It seems like the grammer has set rules for where space are allowed or needed,and when they can be replaced by an entity refering to space.I also thought the dtd was supposed to be easy to parse.I came across something which is either a mistake or an unclear design.For example the rule for elementdecl is " '<!ELEMENT' S %Name %S %contentspec S? '>' " this looks like an entity reference for the %S following the name would have to be directly after the name with no space between them. This makes parsing more dificult for machines and the human eye.Perhaps there is a mistake in defining the meaning of %a,or perhaps the % shouldn't appear before the S... What should I expect for $S ???
