> I am a XML newbie and trying to write my first DTD. > One thing I want to delcare in my DTD is a table. "Table" can mean two things. It can mean data, as in a relational table, in which case you should use tags that reflect the objects and properties you are describing, e.g. <STUDENTS> <STUDENT><NAME>John</NAME><COURSE>Maths</COURSE></STUDENT> <STUDENT><NAME>Mary</NAME><COURSE>History</COURSE></STUDENT> </STUDENTS> Or it can mean a two-dimensional structure of rows and columns with undefined semantics, in which case you might as well use the HTML tags, leaving out any rendition attributes if you want to abstract away from the final appearance.
