When specifying the structure of an XML file in the DTD, you will reach the leaf cells in your XML tree structure. Leaf-cell elements do not include element but are pure Parsed Character Data (PCDATA). You define their content as (#PCDATA). Here are the leaf cells in our mydvd XML file:
<!ELEMENT heading (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT subhead (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT description (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT author (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT date (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT name (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT week (#PCDATA)>
Here is the mydvd XML file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="mydvd7.xsl"?>
<!DOCTYPE sales SYSTEM "mydvd8.dtd">
