Re: [platform-help-dev] Where to find the plugin.dtd

[birsan@xxxxxxxxxx]

Thanks Kari, that reminded me about the extension point docs we have under
org.eclipse.help\doc directory.
So Brian, if the online help is not complete yet, take a look at the
doc\org_eclipse_help*.html files in the org.eclipse.help plugin.

This question was asked and answered in at least one other place. I found
the following in the archives for the news-eclipse-tools mailing list, as
the first hit on a search for "plugin DTD" on Eclipse.org. Jeff McAffer
offered the following answer:

> The spec you are looking for is in the platform doc.  Under the Help
menu,

                    platform-help-dev






I see the the toc.dtd and context.dtd DTDs are included in the Eclipse SDK
distribution. Can someone point me to where I can find the plugin.dtd (CVS,
or otherwise).

Thanks, Brian
