Text.XML.HXT.DTDValidation.DTDValidation

This module provides functions for validating the DTD of XML documents represented as XmlTree.

Unlike other popular XML validation tools the validation process returns a list of errors instead of aborting after the first error was found.

Unlike validation of the document, the DTD branch is traversed four times:

• Validation of Notations
• Validation of Unparsed Entities
• Validation of Element declarations
• Validation of Attribute declarations
