reading a DTD

[Ryan Koss <rk...@acmepacket.com>]

Hello again,

Is there any way for me read in a DTD and extract the Data elements and
their attributes from a DTD.  For instance I want to build a data dictionary
so to speak and based on certain inputs I want to read in the corresponding
DTD and have the data dictionary tell what elements make up this root node
and the attributes of these elements.  Is this possible or am I just wishing
for the stars.

Create a dummy file, which can be an in-memory string, which references the
DTD. Parse the file, and ignore the error that your root element wasn't
found (because you won't know what to make your root element unless you
already know of some element in the DTD.) Then you can enumerate the DTD
info. Look at the EnumVal example.
