updategrams dtd
/ "Winchel 'Todd' Vincent, III" <winchel@m...> was heard to say:
| I suggest to Marcus).  This would allow you to use elements from someone
| else's DTD without having to create one big DTD and you might also be able

| instance), which I can't see how you would do otherwise.

I don't think it's a problem to require the author who wants to mix
several DTDs together to build the compound DTD. It's pretty straight
forward, and it lets all of the existing machinery (modulo the namespaces
tweak) to work the way it does now:

  <!-- A DocBook/HTML DTD -->
  <!ENTITY % docbook PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.1//EN"
                     "some system URI here">

  %docbook;

  <!ENTITY % html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML V1.0//EN"
                     "some system URI here">
  %html;

That's pretty short and easy to do.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
