Pretty printing for DTDs

[Frank Ralf]

I'd like to have the attribute declarations indentated and the tags preferably in a different color than the element declaration. Can I set this somewhere in the preferences?

...
<!ELEMENT p (#PCDATA | i | xref)*>
<!ATTLIST p class CDATA #IMPLIED>
...

TIA
Frank

Hi,

Please note that Oxygen does not provide a format and indent (pretty print) operation for DTDs. So there's nothing to configure in this regard.

If you want to change the color of the DTD tokens, go to Options > Preferences, Editor > Colors and expand the DTD node to reveal the configurable token colors.

Regards,
Adrian

Thanks for the quick reply, Adrian.

I've found out that the indentation can be easily achieved by a simple search & replace (regular expression:

Code: Select all

 Search:   \<!ATTLIST

 Replace:  \t<!ATTLIST

(Note:
The backslash in the search expression is required to escape the <. In the replace expression it's part of the tab \t.)

Cheers,
Frank

Hi Adrian,

If you want to change the color of the DTD tokens, go to Options > Preferences, Editor > Colors and expand the DTD node to reveal the configurable token colors.

This setting seems to be missing in oXygen Author. I only have settings for XML, JavaScript, XQuery/XPath, PHP, CSS, and Text. Is this intentionally only available in the Editor and/or Developer version?

Kind regards,
Frank

Hi,

The Author doesn't have a specialized DTD editor (or for any other schema type) and no corresponding option either, so you're basically editing the DTD as plain text. As you've guessed, the specialized DTD editor is only available in the Developer and the Editor.

Thanks for the clarification, Adrian.

For all users of Notepad++, I've created a User Defined Language file for DTD syntax-highlighting. It's available on GitHub: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nakoh ... ng_DTD.xml

Just import the XML file via Language > Define your language... > Import....

Kind regards,
