DSD 2.0 Processor

• Download these jar files:
  • jdom.jar
  • xerces.jar
  • automaton.jar
  • dtdparser.jar
  • dsd.jar

• To run the command-line DSD 2.0 processor, run

    java -classpath jdom.jar:xerces.jar:automaton.jar:dsd.jar dk.brics.dsd.DSD instance schema
  

  where instance is the URL for the instance document you wish to validate and schema is the URL for the DSD 2.0 schema document to validate against. If the schema URL is omitted, the processor looks for a dsd processing instruction in the instance document to find the schema. (On Windows, replace ':' by ';' in the classpath.)

• As an example, try running

    java -classpath jdom.jar:xerces.jar:automaton.jar:dsd.jar dk.brics.dsd.DSD \
      http://www.w3.org/ http://www.brics.dk/DSD/xhtml1-transitional.dsd > out
  

  This will detect three validity errors that appear on W3C's front page :-)   (unless they recently have been corrected...)

• The processor assumes that the input schema is a valid DSD 2.0 schema. This means that you should always validate your DSD 2.0 schemas with the DSD 2.0 meta-schema (at http://www.brics.dk/DSD/dsd2.dsd) before using your schema.

• The javadoc API documentation for the package is available, in case you wish to use the processor in your own tools without using the command-line front-end (DSD.java).

• New: the package now also contains an experimental DTD-to-DSD2 converter. To convert a DTD, run e.g.

    java -classpath jdom.jar:xerces.jar:dtdparser.jar:dsd.jar dk.brics.dsd.converter.Main \
