Question

"Create a DTD" cannot find XML application

I'm working with the opening chapters in the FM8 Structure Application Developer Guide and I'm stuck at page 39/40.  I've created an EDD, altered the structapps.fm file and defined the read/write rules (which I saved with the imaginative name "ReadWriteRules".)

Following the instructions I went back to the EDD and added the StructuredApplication element, so it looks like this:

Element Catalog

Version

StructuredApplication       ReadWriteRules.fm

However, when I select StructureTools>Save as DTD... first off, the "Save As Type:" doesn't offer .dtd as an option.  So I typed "DTD Test.dtd" into the file name and clicked Save.  But I get an error message saying "Application "ReadWriteRules.fm" does not exist"

In the Define the read/write rules section, it doesn't specify, so I saved it to the default (as an .fm file.)  However, the Create a DTD section talks about the XML application, so I tried saving it as "ReadWriteRules.xml" and changing the EDD to "ReadWriteRules.xml", but I still get the same error message.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Ok, I figured it out.  I was mistakingly putting the file name of my XML application in the EDD, not the Application Name specified within the XML application.  (What the manual suggests is that you use "Quickstart".)

Now it's happy.
