Document Type Definition (DTD)
A Document Type Definition (DTD) defines the legal building blocks of an XML
document. It defines the document structure with a list of legal elements and
attributes.
A DTD can be declared inline inside an XML document, or as an external
reference.

Internal DTD Declaration
If the DTD is declared inside the XML file, it should be wrapped in a DOCTYPE
definition with the following syntax:
Example XML document with an internal DTD:
