There is no DTD. >Is there somewhere that the definitive list of elements and >attributes used by the various documents, like a DTD or schema of >some sort? The XSL sheets might not include every possible tag, so >I don't want to depend on those. The XSL sheets are your reference :-) But I think you can use arbitrary XHTML in your code, too. >I'd like to write a simple doc about contributing FAQs, to solve the >dilemma you mentioned above, and a simple template for FAQ >submissions would be easier if I had a complete list of elements. No such things exists. Anyway, I personally have no problems with "translating" plain text FAQ submissions into XML myself, that's about the easiest part of it, IMO :-) But if you feel like it, sure, go ahead.
