Element containing only #PCDATA isn't generated [at repo head 2023-02-26]

Using repo head.

An element that contains only #PCDATA isn't generated:

test.dtd:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!ELEMENT kap (ofc)>
<!ELEMENT ofc (#PCDATA)>

Generate:

$ xsdata generate test.dtd

Result:

from dataclasses import dataclass, field
from typing import Optional

@dataclass
class Kap:
    class Meta:
        name = "kap"

    ofc: Optional[str] = field(
        default=None,
        metadata={
            "type": "Element",
            "required": True,
        }
    )

This doesn't seem correct, since ofc should become a class.

Note that if I remove kap from the DTD so that there's only ofc, I get this:

from dataclasses import dataclass, field

@dataclass
class Ofc:
    class Meta:
        name = "ofc"

    value: str = field(
        default="",
        metadata={
            "required": True,
        }
    )

That is the expected class. I'm not sure why the Ofc class is missing from the first test file.

xsdata philosophy is to produce the simplest possible classes, that means simple content classes are flattened by default

Good to know!
