As Christoper described, a DTD defines the legal boundaries of an XML file - that means it defines what XML elements can be used and in what context, how the text content of the element should be handled, what attributes an element supports & their own boundies as well as defining what XML entities can be used. If you are editing XML as a noob, I'd recommend jEdit with the XML plugin. See here for an example DTD: http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/dtds.html#a_dtd_XHTML-1.0-Strict On Wed, 2009-03-04 at 00:14 +0000, Graeme Kidd wrote: > Hi > Its my first time posting here so I hope I am in the correct mailing > list. > > I am using a XML program that has two views; one user friendly wysiwyg > view and a plain text view of the underlining XML.
