In article <ucc02aa.721738960@sun3>, ucc02aa@sun3.LRZ-Muenchen.DE
(Pilch) asks for SGML guidance with particular stress on relating it to
TeX.  One valuable resource is the journal of the (American) TeX Users
Group, TUGboat: since 1990 they've published numerous articles on
SGML+TeX work---such as my own in the issue of December 1991.  My
article has a discussion of the difficulties of using TeX as a language
for data representation, and the advantages of limiting TeX's role to
typesetting and using SGML to encode the data.  There have been many
other articles that focus on working applications that people have
devised: the issue without an SGML article in the last few years has
been rare.

Unfortunately, you'll have to find a paper copy of TUGboat somewhere,
since it isn't available electronically.
