Re:  Problem with Entity parameter
Hi, Sandor,
 
I am actrually still a bit confused by the use of PCDATA.
 
If I have the segment in a XML like:
<graph>it is a graph<n>sky</n>you can see it on<img>a link</img>nice</graph>
so by using a element container for the PCDATA, it is like:
<graph><text>it is a graph</text><n>sky</n><text>you can see it on</text><img>a link</img><text>nice</text></graph>
 
Is it right?
 
So compared with the first solution (<!ELEMENT Graph (#PCDATA|n|img)*>), the benifit for your solution is that in the XML, I can have any kind of combinations among the children elements by wrapping the text by a pair of tags (<text> and <\text>), right?  

Thank you,
Rita

hi Rita - you could try creating an element container for the pcdata, for example:
 
<!ELEMENT text (#PCDATA)>
 
then your graph element might look something like this:
 
<!ELEMENT graph ( text*, (n,text*)?, (img, text))>
 
hope this helps.
 
later,

Hi, Bjoern,
 
Thanks for your reply! What shuld I do if I want to limit the exact accurrance for each sub-element in the element Gragh? I mean I want to have:
0 or more "PCDATA" and "n" but 1 or more "img" in it.
 
Cheers,
syt
<!ELEMENT Graph (#PCDATA|n|img)*>

If you have mixed content you only constrain which child elements are
allowed, not the order in which they have to occur or their number:

<!ELEMENT Graph (#PCDATA|n|img)*>

See http://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#sec-mixed-contentfor more information.
