pydtd2xsd

Welcome to the home page of pydtd2xsd. pydtd2xsd is a simple, but hopefully effective, tool to convert complex DTDs, possibly spread over several files and making extensive use of entity substitutions, into XML Schema files. As of now, the generated Schema files are not very elegant and probably more suitable for automatic validation than to convert a project from DTD to Schema and maintain the Schema file manually.

Download and Installation

pydtd2xsd comes as one rather small python file which you can download here Install it, preferably under the filename pydtd2xsd, somewhere in your path, make it executable, and you're ready to go.

Features and Documentation

The features, limitations, and invocation syntax of pydtd2xsd are documented in a manpage which is available in DocBook or, for your immediate viewing pleasure, in HTML.
