XML for Domino
The following topics cover some general guidelines for using XML in Domino applications and list all the elements, attributes, and entities in the Domino Document Type Definition (DTD):
The Domino DTD
The Domino Document Type Definition (DTD) describes the structure of DXL, the Domino version of Extensible Markup Language (XML). The DTD contains the definitions of the XML tags that you can use to validate your XML documents while converting external XML data into Domino databases or to understand any XML documents produced while exporting internal Domino databases into XML.
itemdata (Domino DTD)
Contains the raw data for an item, encoded in Base64 as specified by MIME. This is utilized on export when the DTD does not yet support an item type, or when an option is selected to output items as uninterpreted data. For itemdata elements of type TYPE_OBJECT (file attachments, for instance), this element also contains the object data which is stored elsewhere in a Notes database.
