Hello,

As part of a standardization effort for a kind of multimedia e-mail
capability, we are interested in finding an already-existing SGML
application that allows the specification of multi-font structured text.
 In other words, we would love to find an application that allows the
specification of plain text, with the ability to specify some simple
formatting things like font characteristics (e.g., fixed/variable width,
size), line formatting (fill/no fill, centering, left/right flush).

Ideally, documents using the application would be very simple to parse &
process: i.e., use the reference concrete syntax only (or is the core
syntax even simpler?) & not require any complicated processing to
determine the style at a point in the document (no complicated styule
sheet inheritance, e.g.).

Any one know of any appropriate applications?

Jonathan Rosenberg
