   2. XML
   3. SGML
   4. DTD
   5. XSL

2. Describe three levels of style sheets and their applying range.

Ans:

Inline style sheets apply to the content of a single tag.
Document-level style sheets apply to the whole body of a document. 
External style sheets can apply to the bodies of any number of documents.

3. What are six categories of cascading style sheets?

Ans: They are fonts, colors and backgrounds, text, boxes and layouts, 
     lists, and tags.

4. Describe the XML syntax rules.

Ans:

1) All XML documents must have a root tag.
2) All XML elements must have a closing tag.
3) All XML elements must be properly nested.
4) XML tags are case sensitive.
5) Attribute values must always be quoted.
6) Element names must follow naming rules.

5. What is a well formed XML document?

Ans: An XML document that strictly adheres to XML syntax rules.

6. What are the four possible keywords in a DTD declaration? What are
   they for?

Ans: ELEMENT is used to define tags.
     ATTLIST is used to define tag attributes.
     ENTITY is used to define entities.
     NOTATION is used to define data type notations.

7. What are the four possible default values for an attribute declaration in 
   a DTD?

Ans: A value specifies the value.
     A #FIXED value specifies the value, which every element will have and
     which cannot be changed.
     #REQUIRED specifies every instance of the element must specify a value.
     #IMPLIED indicates no default values.
 
8. How do you specify a parameter entity in a DTD? Give an example.
   What is difference between a general entity and a parameter entity?

Ans: We can use the percent sign (%) to specify a parameter entity.
     For example, <!ENTITY [%] entity_name "entity_value">.
     A general entity can be referenced anywhere in the associated
     XML document; a parameter entity can be referenced only in
     markup declarations.

9. 1) Choose an object and create an XML document to specify the information 
      about this object.
   2) Create a DTD file to specify the elements in this XML document. 
   3) Create a CSS file to display this XML document.
   4) Create an XSL file to display this XML document. 
      (Doing this in Winter break)
