I'm trying to code a cookbook, I've done the XML for a recipe but am really struggling to get the correct DTD valid.
Any help would be MASSIVELY appreciated for a noob. Eventually the DTD and XML will have two recipes, hence why there is mention of recipetwo in the DTD.
I keep facing errors such as document element does not allow element 'ingredient' here.
Also error element "prep_ingredient" undefined.
Like I said, any help would be appreciated for a beginner. Thanks!!
This is the DTD so far followed by the XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE cookbook [

<recipe_blurb> Honey, my baker-extraordinaire, puff-pastry-making gradnmother, has been a dab hand with a turnover for as long as I can remember, churning out batches of apple, apricot or raspberry from a handsome blue Aga. Make sure you use all-butter puff pastry; it tastes better and has a much more wholesome ingredient
list. </recipe_blurb>

You've declared that the ingredients_list element contains parsed character data but no ingredient elements. I think that what you want is:
Code:
<!ELEMENT ingredients_list (ingredient *)>
