Thanks all, Unfortunately this is legacy content – and there is an unbelievable amount of it too.
So, I will probably pre-process the content and write the DTD info out into an element or PI node. org.basex.core.Command.setInput(org.xml.sax.InputSource is) looks like a probable place to do it, after a _very_ quick look at the JavaDoc. However, I am reading the XML from tarfiles using relatively new functionality, so if anyone from the BaseX team wants to suggest an approach to pre-processing XML files from within tarfiles, I would appreciate a few words from you. BaseX rocks!

We moved to schemas, this way I don't lose the schema declaration and users who edit documents from Oxygen (webdav connection) can get all the advantages of editing documents that are linked to their model, including suggestions for enumerated attributes and indent that respect spacing for mixed content.

Suggestions from other users with similar problems are welcome. Christian Hi all, I would really like to be able to query a large corpus of documents to get names and counts of the DTDs which are declared in the (somewhat old-fashioned now) DOCTYPE declaration: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!DOCTYPE converted-article PUBLIC "-//ES//DTD journal article DTD version 4.5.2//EN//XML" "art452.dtd" [ ]> <converted-article> <!-- etc --> Is there any way to get BaseX to preserve this information? Can I rewrite the doctype declaration into some sort of element node as the DB is being created so that this info can be queried? Thanks for any tips, Constantine. _______________________________________________ BaseX-Talk mailing list BaseX-Talk@mailman.uni-konstanz.de<mailto:BaseX-Talk@mailman.uni-konstanz.de> https://mailman.uni-konstanz.de/mailman/listinfo/basex-talk -- France Baril Architecte documentaire / Documentation architect france.ba...@architextus.com<mailto:france.ba...@architextus.com> (514) 572-0341 ________________________________ Elsevier B.V.
