Validation of an XML and DTD

[pitanga]

I have a problem with my XML and DTD and I can't understand what it is. Normally, my xml is well formed:

Code: Select all

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone="no"?>

<!DOCTYPE corpus SYSTEM "POUR.dtd">



<corpus>

  <position type="contre">

    <discours auteur="Aécio Neves" id="1" date="25/08/2016" lieu="Senado Federal">

        blablabla

    </discours>

  </position>

</corpus>

My DTD:

Code: Select all

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

 

<!ELEMENT corpus (position, discours)>

<!ELEMENT position (type)>

<!ATTLIST contre (#CDATA)>

<!ELEMENT discours (auteur, id, date, lieu)>

<!ATTLIST auteur (#CDATA)>

<!ATTLIST id (#CDATA)>

<!ATTLIST date (#CDATA)>

<!ATTLIST lieu (#CDATA)>

My validation: xmllint CONTRE.xml --dtdvalid CONTRE.dtd --noout

Errors:

Code: Select all

CONTRE.dtd:5: parser error : ATTLIST: no name for Attribute

<!ATTLIST contre (#CDATA)>

                 ^

CONTRE.dtd:5: parser error : Content error in the external subset

<!ATTLIST contre (#CDATA)>

                 ^

Can anybody help me? Thank you!

Hi,

You can try to google and follow a DTD tutorial.
The ATTLIST keyword connects an element with an attribute (name,value) definition.
For example if you define this element:

Code: Select all

<!ELEMENT position (type)>

you can define an attribute for it like:

Code: Select all

<!ATTLIST position contre CDATA #IMPLIED>

meaning that "contre" is an attribute of element "position", that it has simple character data and that it can be missing from the document (that #IMPLIED part).

Regards,
Radu
