Re: [dita] DTDVersion

Hi France,

DTDVersion is a fixed attribute that was used to help identify which the
version of the DTDs/XML Schema pre-OASIS.
It is meant as hint to easily identify them (human or application). For
instance, if they were stored in a directory the that does provide any hint
on the version.

For the OASIS DTDs, the attribute DTDVersion was replaced with the
namespace attribute ditaarch:DITAArchVersion

Kind regards,

Hi guys, a simple questions... what is the purpose of the DTDVersion
attribute in the map? Why should I have to change this attribute in every
map when I update my DTD?

Thanks
