DTD validation problem 1

[Nosh]

Hi Folks,

I have the following line in a DTD:

<!ELEMENT RIL_LINE_ITEM_CODE (#PCDATA, ERROR_MESSAGE*, WARNING_MESSAGE*>

I am using XMLSpy and it will not validate that line. It says that a % is expected.

Can anyone help?

Cheers
Nosh.

Although it is possible to use mixed syntax, as shown also in

http://www.w3schools.com/dtd/dtd_elements.asp

XMLSpy does not allow it.
So you will have to name all three elements, for example:
<!ELEMENT RIL_LINE_ITEM_CODE (ANYEL,ERROR_MESSAGE*,WARNING_MESSAGE*)>
<!ELEMENT ANYEL ANY>
<!ELEMENT ERROR_MESSAGE (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT WARNING_MESSAGE (#PCDATA)>

HTH.
