Document Body
Elements are an XML document’s lifeblood. They provide the
structure for character data and attribute values that make up a
particular instance of an XML document type definition. The !ELEMENT
and !ATTLIST
declarations from the DTD
restrict the possible contents of an element within a valid XML
document. Combining elements and/or attributes that violate these
restrictions generates an error in a validating parser.
