Hello,

Using Serna Free 4.2.0.20091009. I've been following the Domain Specialization tutorial from from Domain Specialization Process Overview (DTDs), but have run into an issue where I'm uncertain where Serna is picking up the allowable tags for a given document type.
Following the tutorial, I've created a modified concept.dtd file, created custom xmlDomain.mod and xmlDomain.ent files, modified the catalog-dita_template.xml file in the DITA-1.4 directory to point to the custom concept.dtd file, updated Serna's preference to include this catalog file, created a test document, and verified that Serna is verifying the new dtd file correctly. However, none of the newly defined elements, which should show up as allowable tags within a 'p' tag, show up when the editor focus is inside of a 'p' tag. Will Serna pick up customizations the way I have done them, or is there a different set of dtd's that need to be modified?

Hello,

During editing, Serna does validation according to the Schema (not DTD); DTD (if specified) is used only during initial document parsing. Hence to make Serna show up your tags as allowable in Element Insert dialog you should create .xsd schema files and enable them to use. DTD can be converted to XML Schema with ``trang''.
