DTD?

Simply put, I'm wondering if there's an actual 'muclient' DTD file somewhere that I could load in some XML authoring tools I'm playing around with. I googled a bit but no insta-luck I'm afraid.

Reason I ask is that I'm trying to expand my view and all that, and using some files I'm familliar with is the quickest way to learn.

Not that I am aware of. I haven't done one.

However judging by the site:

http://www.w3schools.com/dtd/dtd_intro.asp

It wouldn't be too hard to do. The format of MUSHclient world/plugin files is pretty simple.

Can you name an XML authoring tool (preferably free) that I could test it with, if I did the DTD document?
Worstje Netherlands #3
I was toying around with the XMLSpy trial since it is said to be a really good tool. I can't really recommend anything else, simply because I've not done as much research. Just on a learning-spree here, heh.

Fancy XML parsers like Xerces can check if a document conforms to a DTD, but IME Xerces is a beast to get working. :-/ It does extremely complex and fancy things, but that makes it quite complex to do simple things... oh well.

Currently I have got this working, it is probably not complete.

Replace the line:


<!DOCTYPE muclient>


in your world file with this:


<!DOCTYPE muclient [

However MUSHclient currently objects if you have that in your world file. I will have to investigate this.
Nick Gammon Australia Forum Administrator #6
I have been using this validator:

http://www.validome.org/xml/validate/
Nick Gammon Australia Forum Administrator #7
MUSHclient does however support the PUBLIC and SYSTEM directives, I haven't got them all to merge together yet.

Something along these lines might work:


<!DOCTYPE muclient SYSTEM "muclient.dtd">


I am unsure about which directory would be looked in for this file.
Worstje Netherlands #8
That looks totally awesome, Nick. Thanks!

The only issue that remains now is that I have a lot of stuff you've added lately that I need to test and play with still, and that I lack time to actually do it. But in good time, heh. :D
