The problems I run into most often with XML DTDs are: 1) Not having omitted tag minimization parameters in element type declarations, i.e., declarations such as: <!ELEMENT foo (#PCDATA)> instead of <!ELEMENT foo - o (#PCDATA)> This one is easily solved: simply provide an SGML declaration that specifies OMITTAG NO. 2) Underscore characters in names. This is not an SGML error with the correct SGML declaration. Unfortunately, however, the SGML parser used by FM+SGML doesn't support it. Here, you'll have to change the DTD. 3) Multiple occurrences of a name token in the same attribute definition list, e.g., something like: <!ATTLIST foo background (black, red, white) black foreground (black, green, blue) blue > Again, you'll need to change the DTD by eliminating at least one of the name token groups, perhaps to: <!ATTLIST foo background (black, red, white) black foreground NAME blue > --Lynne Lynne A.
