Creating
a DTD from XML data
Do you
have an xml document that does not have a dtd created for it? Then it
is easy to create one for that document if you use a good xml or dtd
editor.

Stylus
Studio, XMLSpy, Xselerator, Cooktop are some of the editors that are
available in the market that would do the job of creating the dtd for
you and you need not do anything in creating it. It is generated for
you based on the structure of the xml document for which you want to
generate.
These editors
have powerful feature using which you are prompted to generate the dtd
file. It could be an internal dtd or an external dtd. If you select
the internal option the dtd is inserted in your xml document itself.
If external,
you are prompted to give the file name of the dtd with a .dtd extension
and it is stored externally as a separate file. After creation of the
external file a !DOCTYPE grammar is used to insert a reference to the
created dtd at the top of the xml file.
