So I am working on this XML project to create a small list of favorite DVDs, etc. Maybe I missed it (or that I may have not gotten this far in my reading) but in my DTD I want to restrict movie_review to only allow (G | PG | PG-13 | R | NC-17)... but for some reason it's not working... here's what I have so far... that has been validated.

]>and getting this error...
Open quote is expected for attribute "rating" associated with an element type "movie_rating".
Am I even in the ballpark on this one?
