DTD2HTML(1) General Commands Manual DTD2HTML(1)

dtd2html - generate HTML files to support hypertext navigation of an SGML DTD

dtd2html [options] file ...


dtd2html builds a group of linked HTML documents which contain all of the entities and elements in the Document Type Definition (DTD) whose filename is given as an argument. In particular, for each element, including the top-most element in the DTD, dtd2html generates an HTML document containing:

i.e., a list of all the elements that can be included within element. Each item in this list is hyperlinked to another HTML document describing it.
i.e., a list of all the elements that are disallowed within element.

a link to a document listing the Attributes of element

This is not just another listing of the Content elements, but a prescription for the frequency with which the allowed Content elements can and/or must be included.
i.e., whether a start tag is required or is optional, and whether an end tag is required, optional, or disallowed for element.

dtd2html is one of a suite of tools available in the perlSGML package, which together help one inspect, study, and edit if necessary, an SGML Document Type Definitions (DTD). The package was written by Earl Hood (< <ehood@medusa.acs.uci.edu> >).

A partial summary of options is included below. For a complete description, see the HTML files.

Print status messages to STDERR on what dtd2html is doing. This option generates much output, and is used mainly for debugging purposes.
Write the (many!) files to dirname rather than the current directory.
