Newbie: Want to add more tags to an XML

eramgarden · Aug 28, 2003

Hello-

This is my first post here...I'm going to start a new project and I've been asked to do an XML DTD for a book puplishing ...this is so far what I have..I cant think of anything else to add to this XML...as far as "tags"..i have chapter, bold, ..etc.

Someone said to add "blist"..i added it but dont know what it is exactly...

I searched Google for ideas but didnt find anything concrete..any ideas would be greatly appericiated:

<book>
<part>
<chapter>
<title>blah Title</title>
<head level='1'>Blah Head</head>
<text>text <bold>bold text</bold> more text–text after unicode,
etc</text>
<bList level='1'>
<bList level='2'></bList>
</bList>
</chapter>
</part>
</book>

Surely discussing this with your client should give you some ideas about the sort of elements they need included in their DTD.

The notable omission from your example is an element for paragraphs. Other than that, I'd be inclined to look at the tags available in HTML and use the ones that you will need (<b>, <i>, etc.). Like Dwarf says, it'll depend on your client's requirements.
