 <h1 class="topictitle1">Editing DOCTYPE declarations</h1>


 <div><p>The DOCTYPE declaration in an XML file is used at the beginning
 of it to associate it with a DTD file. You can edit your DOCTYPE declaration
 to change the DTD file your XML file is associated with.</p>

 <div class="section"><p>The following instructions were written for the Resource perspective,

 <p>To edit your DOCTYPE
 declaration, follow these steps:</p>

 click <span class="uicontrol">Edit DOCTYPE</span>.</span></li>

 <li class="stepexpand"><span>The value in the <span class="uicontrol">Root element name</span> field

 only edit the value in this field if your root element changes.</li>

 <li class="stepexpand"><span>You can select a Public ID for any existing XML Catalog entries
 by clicking <span class="uicontrol">Browse</span>. </span> The value in the <span class="uicontrol">Public

 XML file (using an XML Catalog entry) with a DTD file. For more information
 on XML Catalog entries, refer to the related tasks.</li>

 <li class="stepexpand"><span>The value in the <span class="uicontrol">System ID</span> field is the

 When the XML file is processed by the XML processor, it will first try to
 use the Public ID to locate the DTD, and if this fails, it will use the System
 ID to find it.</li>
