Running the XML DTD Importer:
There are two different versions of DTD importers that can be accessed using the
XML DTD Importer option:
♦ The 6.7 importer. To run this importer, go to Generating 6.7 Type Trees .
♦ The Pre 6.7 (Deprecated) importer. To run this importer go to Generating
Pre 6.7 (Deprecated) Type Trees.
Note A pre 6.7 (deprecated) importer is available for legacy purposes, since the type
tree structure is similar to DTD imported type trees from previous releases. It is
recommneded to use the 6.7 importer. The type trees generated with 6.7 importer
are similar in structure to the type trees generated from XML schemas, making
the mapping process similar between DTDs and schemas.
"All Elements" is the only (default) option to create the type trees in the legacy
format. The "Elements Declared Empty" option has been phased out in this release
and will not generate a type tree.
Generating 6.7 Type Trees
This importer uses an XML parser to generate the type tree. Refer to the following
steps to run the importer.
To run the 6.7 XML DTD Importer
1 Open the Type Designer application.
2 Select Import a type tree in the Startup window and click Next. You can
also select Import from the Tree menu when the Type Designer is already
open.
The Importer Wizard dialog box appears.
3 Select XML DTD from the Importer Wizard dialog box.
The Importer Wizard - XML DTD dialog box appears with buttons displayed
that allow you to select the type of importer you want to use.
