DTD help
Hi,
Greetings!
I want to include one DTD in another DTD, is it possible? I am trying to
do this using ENTITY. I wrote as follows:
<!ENTITY % param1 SYSTEM "filepath/file.dtd">
<!ELEMENT Adding (%param1;)>
But when i tried to load this DTD in IBM xmlgenerator tool, it says
invalid DTD. What i missed out? Any idea, please?
Thanks and Regards,
Saif

The dtd you import must not have any DOCTYPE statements. It may contain
only declarations. In your overall document, you would have the DOCTYPE
declaration. Using an entity this way essentially brings in text, and the
complete xml document has to follow the rules once the entity has been
imported and expanded.
Therefore, you want your files to be like this:
======= dtd to be imported (to_be_imported.dtd) ======
<!ELEMENT element_to_be_imported (#PCDATA)>
======= Your main xml file ===========
<!DOCTYPE importing_document [
<!ENTITY %imports SYSTEM "to_be_imported.dtd">
%imports;
<!ELEMENT document (element_to_be_imported)>
]>

This is almost not more complicated.
Instead of your Element, you should simply use the entity:
<!ENTITY % param1 SYSTEM "filepath/file.dtd">
%param1;
