Hi
Terry,
If you
are looking for java classes to parse the DTD you could try matra[1]. You can
parse standalone DTDs or DTDs with multiple modules included within
it.
Disclaimer: The code is around 3 years old and is in an alpha state. It
works on most DTDs, but there might be a few bugs here and there. I had planned
to fix them, but never got down to doing it ... If you face a problem with the
code feel free to contact me.
You'll
also find DTDTree in the project. It displays the structure of the DTD is a
simple (or simplistic!!) tree structure [2] - showing the parent-child
relationship between the elements. I find it pretty useful while trying to
decipher the structure of a DTD.

You can find matra at -

Here a snippet of an eg tree ...
schema
(targetNamespace, version, xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema",
finalDefault="", blockDefault="", id, elementFormDefault="unqualified",
attributeFormDefault="unqualified")
|
|-
include (schemaLocation)
| |
| +- annotation
|
|
| |- appinfo
(source)
| |
| +- documentation
(source, xml:lang)
|
|-
import (namespace, schemaLocation)
| |
| +- annotation
|
|
| |- appinfo
(source)
| |
| +- documentation
(source, xml:lang)
|
|-

Hi,
I would like to parse/process a DTD in order to
extract, for each element, a list of available/valid child elements and
attributes.
I've been looking through the MSXML4.0 reference
and can't see anything that looks like it would help. I've also spent several
hours searching the web looking for example code and tools, but no
joy.
The DTD in question (at the moment anyway) is
DocBook, but I want something generic. DocBook seems to use quite a few seperate
files for the DTD, so I'd need to be able to handle this.
Any suggestions for code or tools, or pointers in
the right direction or even alternative methods would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Terry Chilvers
