I would like to have information about how, and to what extent, one can use an arbitrary DTD in Writer.
In other words, I would like to use Writer as the foundation for an XML editor using my own DTD.
It is my understanding that this can be done, though Writer would not function as a validating editor. However, perhaps my understanding is not correct.
I would appreciate direct information about this, or links to sites that would be helpful to me.
Thanks!

Re: Use of arbitrary DTD in OOo Writer
Villeroy, thanks for the response.
What I am looking for, though, is something different. These seem to be transformations, whereas what I am interested in is something like (but better than!) what one can do in Word 2007, where you can actually load an arbitrary DTD into Word, display (or not) the tags in the WordprocessingML / Office Open XML, and at least perform some operations with them. Far from a true XML editor like Arbortext or XMetaL, but better than not being able to do that trick at all.
So is this possible at all in OOo, or must one work exclusively with ODF and then perform a transformation to the arbitrary DTD?

Re: Use of arbitrary DTD in OOo Writer
Writer is not a general SGML editing suite. It only supports the ODF DTDs and imported transformation there unto. Sorry.
