>I'd like to reuse book.dtd inside library.dtd without rewriting >whole library.dtd. (First, this is really a question for the xml-l list or comp.text.xml. xml-dev is for people developing XML software.) This is what external parameter entities are for. Parameter entities store pieces of a DTD, and "external" means "stored in a separate file" (or the equivalent construct in your operation system). For example, if book.dtd is the following: <!ELEMENT book (chapter+)> <!ELEMENT chapter (par+)> <!ELEMENT par (#PCDATA)> your library.dtd file could look like this: <!ELEMENT library (shelf+)> <!ELEMENT shelf (book+)> <!ENTITY % bookdtd "book.dtd"> %bookdtd; Bob DuCharme www.snee.com/bob <bob@ snee.com> see www.snee.com/bob/xmlann for "XML: The Annotated Specification" from Prentice Hall. xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
