| <!ENTITY % heading "H1|H2|H3|H4|H5|H6"> | [...] | <!ELEMENT ( %heading ) - - (%text;)*> | | Big difference. The "- -" in H1-H6 means both start and end tags are required. | | <!ELEMENT P - O (%text)*> | | The "- O" in P means the end tag is optional. Arnoud is corrent: the STYLE | element requires an end tag, so the given example is invalid. See, I told people this DTD is "crap"... whats wrong wiuth REQUIRED or OPTIONAL, no, they using numbers ... just to make sure little people like me won't learn it... So do you advise browsers to throw a tantraum or to be intellegent and bypass the error knowning what was meant? (as I said earlier, I see no reason why most all end tags can not be assumed...)
