[ Lists Home | Date Index | Thread Index ]

Why would you think this is not allowed?

	So just to be completely clear on this, if a DTD allows it, then something
	like this would be legal?:
	<node>yada yada yada
	        <node> blah blah blah </node>
	etc. </node>
	
	or, in xml:
	<!ELEMENT node (node+) >
	
	?
	
	Thanks,
