Is shemaType="application/xml-dtd" supported?

Hi,

oNVDL supports currently XML Schema, Relax NG and Schematron.
We will consider adding support for DTD validation.

Any news on this for future releases?

Hi,

James Clark restarted the work on Jing [1]. I merged the NVDL support from oNVDL into the new Jing code. The best approach further is to log this as an issue on the new Jing issue tracker [2].

This is still not supported in current oXygen 18.1 / Jing, isn't it?

Yes, that is correct.
Note also that DTDs are not really namespace aware, so supporting DTDs may cause some confusion - imagine you direct anything in the XHTML namespace to be validated with the XHTML DTD, but if there is a prefix used then the DTD validation will fail and you do not have a way to tell in NVDL that you want that DTD validation only when the XHTML namespace is the default namespace... I think the simple workaround is to covert your DTD to Relax NG and use that from NVDL.
