Process Overview

When you use Stylus Studio to define a DTD, the main steps you perform are:

1. Create a new DTD schema file.

2. Define the elements that contain the raw data.

3. Define the elements that contain other elements.

4. In the container elements, specify the rules for the contained elements. That is, specify whether a contained element is optional or required, whether there can be more than one, and what order contained elements must be in.

This section provides step-by-step instructions for defining the bookstore.dtd schema file. You should perform the steps in each topic in the order of the topics. This section includes the following topics:
