Thanks for your quick replay. Unfortunately, I do'nt have an existing document that conforms to the DTD. Is it not possible to use the declarations in the DTD to select the right child elements of the root to include to build a valid template? Ex. include the child elements that are mandatory. Can I limit element selection to the childs of the root, or do I have to go deeper?

(I suggest to do this with an XHTML or a DocBook document first to become familiar with this technique.) [1] Open an existing document conforming to your custom DTD (that is, having the right <!DOCTYPE>) using "File|Open As Template..." [2] You should get the *minimal* valid document. If needed, using XXE, replace some elements and/or add more elements. For example, in the case of a DocBook article, there is just a <para>. In such case, it makes sense to add a <title> before the <para> and may be also to add a <section> after the <para>. [3] Save this document. [4] Copy it to your configuration directory and rename it in order to use it as a document template (i.e. replace the document template you have created by hand). > and which type > of elements one needs to provide CSS rules for to get a WYSIWYG > presentation in XMLmind? This question is not related to the previous problem. You need to style *all* elements. (XXE only has built-in rules for comments and processing-instructions.)
