A document type definition (DTD) describes the tags that can be used in an XML file and indicates the valid arrangement of those tags. It can exist as a prologue to an XML file (internal DTD) or as a separate file (external DTD).
The IDE displays DTD files as DTD nodes ()
in the Explorer. You can edit a DTD in the Source Editor by double-clicking
its Explorer node.
The contextual menu for external DTD nodes contains the following commands:
![]() |
If your version of the IDE includes the XML Tree Editor, DTD nodes also include additional subnodes and properties. See the XML Tree Editor help for details about these options. |
