The content of a DTD file usually includes specification settings, digital objects, layout elements, text attributes and plain text configurations associated to certain documents encoded and saved in HTML, XML, XHTML and SGML formats.

Verifying if the representation of a document by another file is valid can be done using the content stored in these DTD files.

what is a file extension?
A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .dtd. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
