DTD Question

[Anthony Zawacki <zw...@us.ibm.com>]

Hello,

I have been working on a program that has an XML based configuration file.
The configuration contains the actions that the application should take.
Portions of the configuration file includes arbitrary XML messages, in that
I do not have a DTD available to represent what is allowed.  I have tried
several ways to create a DTD that can be validated, but so far, nothing
seems to work.

An example document:

<Parent>
    <Child><Any_Xml_Possible/></Child>
</Parent>

I never know what will be inside of the Child element, but I do know that a
Child element will always be contained within the Parent element.

Is it possible to express this in a DTD?

I'm aware of the mulberry-xslt mailing lists for general questions related
to XSLT.
Is there a more appropriate forum for this question?

Thanks,
Anthony Zawacki

No, but you can with an XML Schema.
