XML Master exam study notes on 7 Jan 08

This is the declaration of an xml document

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

An optional attribute "standalone" can be uses to identify whether an xml document need to reference an external reference.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>

DTD standard for Document Type Definition, it is a kind of define to verify whether an xml document is a valid xml document.

We can use a <!DOCTYPE> element to create DTD, like this

<!DOCTYPE demo [
<!ELEMENT demo (date, location)>
<!ELEMENT date (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT location (#PCDATA)>
<!ENTITY kt "Kown Tong">
<!ENTITY klncity "Kowloon City">
]>

Inside the Day 5 study, it seems not much related to the namespace handling in DTD. And, the NTATION, NTOKEN, MNTOKEN ... etc. need to have more explainations.

For the moment, I read the Day 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the Tech Yourself XML in 21 Days 3rd Edition.

It is not difficult for a developer to understanding, but only about the handling Namespace in DTDs.

I'll start the Day 5 studying tonight. It is about handling attributes and entities.
