I assume you mean SGML, not "SMGL". SGML is the Standard Generalized Markup Language. SGML is defined in International Standard ISO 8879:1986. SGML is a language for formally describing the structure and contents of documents [1]. SGML is also the syntax used by documents so described. SGML is an important move in the direction of separating information from its presentation, i.e. making different presentations possible for the same information. SGML is more fully discussed in comp.text.sgml (to where followups are directed). SGML is the name of a directory at the public FTP site ftp.ifi.uio.no where you can find a (draft) FAQ, a bibliography, and more information. Regards, </Erik> ------- [1] "Document" means any information in any form, processed and shipped as a unit, paper documents just being one example. The word has taken on an expanded meaning with the advent of "document processing". -- Erik Naggum | +47-295-0313 | ISO 8879 SGML | Memento, Naggum Software | | DIS 10744 HyTime | terrigena.
