This is great stuff -- especially in the way that it exposes the
parameter entities to you while still allowing you to interactively
navigate through them.
I use Earl Hood's "db2html" script, but by design it obscures the
parameter entities -- or actually obscures the DTD syntax itself -- of
course because its purpose is quite different.
For me needs, the two utilities complement each quite nicely. Very
glad to have the added clarity that LiveDTD provides.
