This may not be what you had in mind, but my LiveDTD tool turns a DTD into a
hypertext document, with a clickable list of elements down the side. A
click takes you to the content model in the DTD. It works with DocBook and
customizations.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Tool to query dtd/schema for valid element
children|attributes
> I'm looking for a tool that will enable me to query the docbook dtd --

> So far I've tried the perl modules XML::DTDParser, XML::ParseDTD and

> http://oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd (or the local copy on
> my system).
>
> Can anyone point me to a tool that might suit my needs? If there's a
> tool that can query RNG, I can translate the DTD using trang.
