Source for writing DTD

[DuCharme, Robert]

>1.  Where can I get idea about the design of DTD?

There are two good books: "Structuring XML Documents" by David Megginson and
"Developing SGML DTDs" (SGML syntax can be slightly different in places, but
most design issues are the same) by Eve Maler and Jeanne El Andaloussi.

>2. Is it good idea to write DTD or DTD schemas?

For now, DTDs. The W3C schema specification is still a moving target with a
ways to go, and no software that I know of supports it yet.

(By the way, the xml-l list is better for basic XML issues; xml-dev
concentrates on more advanced and theoretical stuff. See
http://www.oasis-open.org/cover/lists.html#XML-L for more on xml-l.)
