Tools that can be used to convert XML to DTD

Almost all of the xml editors that are available in the market would do the job of generating a dtd document from an existing xml document. Instead of creating a dtd from the scratch, it is easy to generate one for an existing xml document.

For example the tool Stylus Studio has a tab called schema while you edit an xml document. If you click that tab, it will prompt you generate a dtd or schema of the xml document if you don't have one already for that document.

Apart from that you are also prompted to select either an internal dtd or and external dtd. If internal the dtd generated is placed on top the xml file and if external an external file with .dtd extension is created and a link to that is placed on top of the xml file using !DOCTYPE.

XMLSpy, Xselerator, Cooktop and other xml editors that are available in the market will do the generation of dtd from xml document.

Search for the term 'xml editors' in any search engine and you are sure to get a list of tools available for editing and generating xml and dtd.
