Are DTD's still very commonly used or is it all XML Schemas
that are used to define XML document structures now?

Does anybody know a good site or book that goes into Schema
syntax?

DTDs are still used, but Schemas provide much tighter control over how the XML file looks, and most people are moving to them.

The thing that helped me understand schemas the easiest was just playing around with XMLSpy (It has an excellent graphical designer).

Ok. I have started using Turbo XML but I get the idea.
Schemas are wierd animals and cn be defined or edited using a package uch as XMLSpy.

Thanks.

A good book is XML Schema Essentials by Wyke & Watt.
