What is XSL file?
Use only file extensions relevant to Microsoft product and include symbols. The XSL, or .XSL, file extension is associated with the Microsoft SharePoint WorkSpace Groove database. It stores the structure of a database, which includes column headings, table properties, data types and relationships. The schema for an XSL file can be defined manually or it can be automatically generated by a computer program. [ ⏩ ] XSL file extension

A DTD (.dtd) file extension is a type of markup language used to indicate structural aspect of a document.

Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from XSL to DTD?
To successfully convert the XSL file to DTD, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.XSL). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case DTD (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than DTD).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. XSL to DTD. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting XSL files to DTD files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension DTD, while before this step we had the XSL file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new DTD file, or not.
