Re: dtd

["xsl list" <xsl_list@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is exactly what I want. The site makes it easy for me to write my dtd. 
I will convert each grouping of attributes into an ENTITY in the dtd and use 
it for my tags (<my_table> for example). Since I allow HTML tags along with 
my special tags, I can use the Element definition as well. The assumption 
is: no such public dtd exists, is this correct? that is a dtd that defines 
components of the HTML which I can sellectively use.
