DTDs may also be required at the rendering stage if they contain default or fixed attribute values, declarations of external entities, notations, or id/idref attributes. DTDs are also required by some editors, as mentioned earlier, not because they perform validation (which is useful) but because they are used to guide or prompt (and sometimes force :-) the author while writing (a form of validation, but not the act of validation). ///Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. <http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faqs.html> To unsubscribe, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
