Decoding XML and the DTD

This introductory article shows how to create XML Document Type Definitions (DTDs) and well-formed, well-defined XML files that can be validated by the XML parser of your choice. While you don''t have to include a DTD with every XML file you produce, doing so will make your life a lot easier. Not only will a DTD enforce the syntax you''ve established for your XML files, it will also allow your files to be parsed by a validating XML parser. Code samples include DTD and XML document examples.
