| <div><p>The DOCTYPE declaration in an XML file is used at the beginning |
| of it to associate it with a DTD file. You can edit your DOCTYPE declaration |
| to change the DTD file your XML file is associated with.</p><div class="skipspace"><p>The following instructions were written for the Resource perspective, |
| but they will also work in many other perspectives.</p> |
| <p>To edit your DOCTYPE |
| declaration, follow these steps:</p> |
| </div> |
| <ol><li class="skipspace"><span>In the Design view of the XML editor, right-click <span class="uicontrol">DOCTYPE</span> and |
| click <span class="uicontrol">Edit DOCTYPE</span>.</span></li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>The value in the <span class="uicontrol">Root element mame</span> field |
| should match the root element of your XML file exactly.</span> You should |
| only edit the value in this field if your root element changes.</li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>You can select a Public ID for any existing XML Catalog entries |
| by clicking <span class="uicontrol">Browse</span>. </span> The value in the <span class="uicontrol">Public |
| ID</span> field is the Public Identifier. It is used to associate the |
| XML file (using an XML Catalog entry) with a DTD file. For more information |
| on XML Catalog entries, refer to the related tasks below.</li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>The value in the <span class="uicontrol">System ID</span> field is the |
| DTD the XML file is associated with. Type the path of the DTD file you want |
| the XML file associated with in this field. </span> <b>Note</b>: When |
| the XML file is processed by the XML processor, it will first try to use the |
| Public ID to locate the DTD, and if this fails, it will use the System ID |
| to find it.</li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>Click <span class="uicontrol">OK</span>.</span></li> |
