xhtml: adding ELEMENT to dtd

Horace A. 'Kicker' Vallas

.... or using multiple dtd's for doctype.

sorry if this is an infantile question - scouring an html to xhtml
conversion is not something I often do :-(

QUESTION:

does anyone know how we can add a new ELEMENT to an existing w3
dtd - or tell the doctype to add it or use an additional dtd in
the doctype etc. etc. etc.

BACKGROUND:

anyway - we have a pseudo tag we use for some indexing control on
a site - the tag-set is placed in the head section of an xhtml 1.0
transitional doc.

the w3 validator complains about the tag (and its attribute) when
it appears in the head section of the page - of course - but I
cannot seem to figure out how to add an element such that it will
be allowed in the head section.

have tried things like...

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dt d"
[
<!ELEMENT ourtag EMPTY>

<!ATTLIST ourtag
id CDATA #REQUIRED

>

]>

.... and have even tried redefining the head element to include the
ourtag element etc.

nothing seems to work in a way that allows the validator to succeed

thanks!

p.s. - OH!! Hi y'all!! :-))

XHTML 1.0 / 1.1 / 2.0

I read this in http://annevankesteren.nl/2004/12/xhtml-notes "A common misconception is that XHTML 1.1 is the latest version of the XHTML series. And although it was released a bit more than a year later then the first version of XHTML 1.0, the second edition is actually newer. Furthermore, XHTML 1.1 is not really the follow-up of XHTML 1.0" I thought that XHTML 1.1 was the follow-up to XHTML 1.0 and that XHTML 2.0 will someday be the...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
