NAME

SGML::DTDParse - Parse an SGML or XML DTD

SYNOPSIS

use SGML::DTDParse;
print "This is DTDParse v$SGML::DTDParse::VERSION\n";

DESCRIPTION

The DTDParse collection is a set of Perl modules and scripts for manipulating SGML an XML Document Type Definitions (DTDs). DTDParse is designed primarily to aid in the understanding and documentation of DTDs.

Typical usage of this package is as follows:

  1. Parse the DTD with dtdparse. This produces an XML representation of the DTD. This representation exposes both the logical structure of the DTD (the actual meta-structure of its grove) and the organizational structure of the DTD (the declarations and parameter entities) that comprise its textual form.

  2. Manipulate the XML document produced by dtdparse to do whatever you want. DTDParse is shipped with several programs that demonstrate various capabilities, including dtdformat which can produce HTML or DocBook http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/ RefEntry pages for each element and parameter entity in the DTD.

DTDParse XML DTD

The following is the XML DTD for XML documents created with dtdparse (the DTD is also provided in the file etc/dtd.dtd of the DTDParse distribution):

  <!-- This is the DTD for the documents produced by DTDParse.
       The public identifier for this DTD is:

	"-//Norman Walsh//DTD DTDParse V2.0//EN"
