28<div><p>After you have created or imported a DTD, you can open it in the
29DTD editor (by double-clicking it in the Navigator view), a tool for viewing
30and editing DTDs. You can use the DTD editor to perform a variety of tasks
31such as creating, editing, and deleting DTD elements, attributes, entities,
32notations, and comments</p><p>Before you can perform any of these tasks, you must create a DTD and open
33it in the DTD editor. After you open the DTD, you can use the <span class="uicontrol">Outline</span> view
34to create nodes and the <span class="uicontrol">Properties</span> view to provide
35details about the nodes.</p>
36<p></p>
37<p> <b>Note</b>: In the <span class="uicontrol">Outline</span> view, you can either
38work in default mode (all nodes appear in the order you added them to the
39DTD in) or group the DTD nodes into the following logical groups: notations,
40entities, elements, and other, by clicking the <span class="uicontrol">Group items logically</span> button <img src="../images/organize_dtd_logically.gif" />. </p>
