This is an example that i have to do.

It supose that i have this dtd:

<!ELEMENT car(name, price, color, description)>
<!ELEMENT price (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT color (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT description (#PCDATA)>

and i have this text in a quark document:

Ferrari Red, only $90000. This car is a demon, it is the best sport car in the world.

I wanna obtain as result:

<car>
<name>Ferrari</name>
<price>$90000</price>
<color>red</color>
<description>This car is a <italic>demon</italic>, it is the best sport car in the world.</description>

I dont know how i have to do the tag rule for doing that the words what has a italic format, in the xml files appears with the tags <italic></italic>. Is it my dtd ok? or i have to add something?

Thanks

There is nothing special about italic that will let it be tagged absent an element to contain it and a rule to match it. So you do need to add to your DTD. Your Description entry could look like

<!ELEMENT Description (#PCDATA | ds-italic)*>

which would allow Description to contain multiple runs of plain text with italic elements nested as needed. (The child element could just be named italic, I'd use ds-italic in case you realize later you'll need other italic child options in your other top elements.)

You would also have to declare the child element

<!ELEMENT ds-italic (#PCDATA)>
