A generic parser would have trouble producing formatted output because SGML markup does not specify format. You could, however, incorporate the parser in another program which would understand a specific DTD and could produce a formatted document from the input. The key thing to remember about SGML markup is that it is not like TROFF, SGML only defines structure, not appearance. James W.
