Creating an EDD from a DTD or Schema

You can use a DTD or XML Schema to create a FrameMaker EDD. The new EDD will

include structure rules that are already defined the DTD or XML Schema. You can then

modify the EDD to specify formatting properties for XML elements.

1. Choose StructureTools>Open DTD. If you are starting with an XML Schema, choose

StructureTools>Open Schema.

2. Select a DTD or an XML Schema. FrameMaker prompts for the name of a structured

application to use when converting the DTD or XML Schema to an EDD. The

structured application may define mappings between XML elements and structured

FrameMaker objects. Here we will choose <No Application> and use FrameMaker

software’s default mappings.

3. FrameMaker prompts for the type of DTD: SGML or XML.
