DTD to XML Schema

Question

I have this DTD:

<!DOCTYPE recipes [ <!ELEMENT recipes (Recipe+)> <!ELEMENT Recipe (Title,(Ingredients*|Preparation?),Comments?, Nutrition,Fat,Carbohydrates,Protein)> <!ELEMENT Title (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT Ingredients EMPTY> <!ATTLIST Ingredients name CDATA #REQUIRED amount CDATA #IMPLIED unit CDATA #IMPLIED> <!ELEMENT Preparation(steps,filling?,dough?,sauce?)> <!ELEMENT steps (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT filling (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT dough (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT sauce (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT Comments (#PCDATA)> <!ATTLIST Nutrition Calories CDATA #REQUIRED> <!ELEMENT Fat EMPTY> <!ATTLIST Fat fat CDATA #IMPLIED> <!ELEMENT Carbohydrates EMPTY> <!ATTLIST Carbohydrates carb CDATA #IMPLIED> <!ELEMENT Protein EMPTY> <!ATTLIST Protein prot CDATA #IMPLIED> ]>

And I want to convert it to XSD but I don't understand how do I create attributes for all elements and how will be the entire DTD to XSD? Thanks in advance.

Your DTD has no element defined for Nutrition, but if thats added then it looks something like this as an XSD.
