[oXygen-user] XSD to DTD?

[Sorin Ristache]

Hello,

I think hand coding the DTD is not really an option for large schemas.

There is no direct way for the conversion but you can generate an XML 
instance document from each XML Schema using the action Generate Sample 
XML Files from menu Tools. For generating a DTD from an XML instance 
document run the actions Learn Structure (Ctrl + Shift + L) and Save 
Structure (Ctrl + Shift + S) available on the menu Document -> XML Document.


Regards,
Sorin
