> I have a large number of fields that normally hold simple textual data, but > might also include a comment. You can't constrain the content in that way with a DTD. The best you do is <!ELEMENT rho0 (#PCDATA|comment)*> which allows any mixture of comments and text. The only alternative is to change the structure, perhaps as you suggest by putting the data in another element, or perhaps by making the comment into an attribute. -- Richard xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
