When I gave the example: >now is the time <use-troff-not-SGML> for all good men Eliot said: >The element <use-troff-not-SGML> is not a valid SGML tag Which may be true, but is irrelevant. I was presenting an example to illustrate a general definition of markup, not one limited to descriptive markup or SGML markup. >That Darrell used this example suggests that he has made the >common confusion of SGML with procedural formatting languages >like TROFF and DCF/Script. I don't suffer from this confusion. However, even if I did, it's not important, since the example was intended to illustrate a definition of markup that includes both descriptive and procedural forms. -Darrell.
