DTD Modeling

The code generator supports processing external document type definitions (DTD), with lxml.

$ pip install pyxsdata[lxml]

DTDParseError: error parsing DTD

Try removing the DOCTYPE wrapper if you are sure the rest of the definition is correct.

Example

$ pyxsdata generate --package tests.fixtures.dtd.models tests/fixtures/dtd/complete_example.dtd
