Subject: Re: DOCBOOK: Literary DTDs
/ madhu <b_maddy_016@yahoo.com> was heard to say: | otherwise wont you be better off using standalone XML/XSL route Never. Clearly this is nothing more than my humble opinion, but I make DTDs (or schema) for every doctype I create or use, even if it contains only two elements. How else can I ever hope to make sure that I haven't made a mistake? Spelled an element incorrectly? Nested something backwards? Left out a required element? Without a DTD or schema to validate your instances, you have to look at every page of output that every stylesheet you use produces. You can never be sure that the stylesheet did the right thing because you have unconstrained input.
