This package is an implementation of the XML DTD specification.

The XML DTD object model does not implement:

• Conditional Sections:

  <![ INCLUDE [ ... ]]>
  <![ IGNORE  [ ... ]]> 

• Processing Instructions, like:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?> 

The XML DTD object model is fully compliant with the current XML specification, unless otherwise is stated.

This package also contains the class Converter, which provides static top-level methods to parse and convert XML DTD documents to corresponding XML Schema documents. It also contains a simple command line interface to read an XML DTD file and create a corresponding XML Schema file.
