Is it possible to break up XML files into smaller documents without having to write a DTD for each document? I.e. can I do something like this:
--Friends.DTD------ <!ELEMENT friends (person)+> <!ELEMENT person (name, age, birthday)> <!ELEMENT name (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT age (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT favortive-color(#PCDATA)> ------------------- --myFriends.xml---- <!DOCTYPE friends SYSTEM "Friends.DTD"> <friends> <person LINK-TO-THIS-FILE "phil.xml"> <person LINK-TO-THIS-FILE "will.xml"> <person LINK-TO-THIS-FILE "gil.xml"> </friends> ------------------- --phil.xml--------- <person> <name>Phil</name> <age>28</age> <favortive-color>blue</favortive-color> </person> ------------------- etc. with will.xml and gil.xml What do ENTITY tags do for me in this regard? Thanks David
