IBM Version 5 manual Using the Outline view to add DTD components, DTD Editor

Figure 5-3 DTD Editor

In order to handle the contents of a DTD file, you can use the Outline view to add or remove components of your DTD. When you select an object in the Outline view, the Design view will display the properties that are associated with that DTD component object. You can use the Design view to enter values for the selected object. You can switch to the Source view to edit the DTD source directly. The DTD editor also uses the Task view from the workbench for errors reporting.

Using the Outline view to add DTD components

The DTD specification defines a large number of components such as elements, entities, notations, comments, attributes, etc. To create a valid DTD, you must understand the containment relationships between these components.The XML Schema Editor removes the burden to remember these details for you. You can use the Outline view to add DTD components via the pop-up menu as shown in Figure 5-4 on page 85. The pop-up menu will only display the list of objects that are relevant for the selected object. It will also add the object at the correct location in the DTD.
