Topic from Verity Corp, (415) 960-7620, does what you ask. We use it to provide
information to people Lab wide.   Our database is marked up with SGML and is
searched and displayed by Topic.  Topic let's you decide whether you want to
display the native SGML marked text or reformat it to look nicer.  I've enjoyed
working with it. If you have any other questions let me know.
