trying to creat an Internal DTD, dont know if im doing it rite . but this is what the internal dtd so have

1) after the closing parenthesis in the root element declaration
I need to add the appropriate symbol that indicates that these elements can be used one or more times within the file.


with in the parenthese i need to include the symbol after "song" that declares it can be used zero or more times within the file.

Declare the category attribute as being optional and having character data.



this is what i have done so far

First, it's <!DOCTYPE >, not <!--DOCTYPE >. :)

Second, * means 0 or more, + means 1 or more.

XML is case-sensitive, so <!ELEMENT cds > means you're not valid.

Where's your <!ATTLIST > tags?
