If you want to make your own tags, look into XML.http://www.w3schools.com/xml/default.asp

thanks but i want to make my own DTD. not use XML and XSLT for web sites. ?/mads

You do have to (or are supposed to) describe your XML with a DTD (or a Schema). Did you look at the DTD tutorial?

I'm not sure if you understand this, so I'm going to mention it just in case - whatever tag you define, the browser isn't going to know how to process it. You still need to manually write yourself some programming code that is going to specify what does this element do. And the code to do that isn't a DTD - it's JavaScript, PHP, a C++ browser plug-in, or any other XML aware programming environment.The only thing DTD does is to tell validators and validating XML parsers (i.e. those that fail on validation errors - no browser does this due to performance considerations) that a certain element is allowed to appear at a certain point.Furthermore, a custom DTD is going to trigger quirks mode in most browsers, unless you serve the page as application/xhtml+xml or (in the case of IE8) with an X-UA-Compatible header.I suggest you use the normal DTDs (ideally, XHTML 1.0 Strict), and generate any custom elements and/or attributes somehow, depending on your scenario.
