I am reading data from a database and attempting to create XML using XML::Smart. I'm having some problems creating elements that have attributes and textual content.
I would like to create things along the lines of:
<phone type="home">555-1234</phone>
But I can't quite get it to work. I either lose the attribute altogether or it gets inserted as a tag inside the phone element's contents. It might have been confusing it a little that the 'phone' element was defined with a 'type' attribute and I also had a 'type' element but that had nothing to do with 'phone' element. I tried changing the attribute to 'xxx' but then it never showed up in the output.
As far as I can tell, it's valid XML. Is it possible to create this using XML::Smart with a DTD?
From the DTD:
<!ELEMENT customer (phone+)>
<!ELEMENT phone (#PCDATA)>
<!ATTLIST phone type PCDATA #REQUIRED>

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
