SYNOPSIS
sgml2 [spec] < [SGML MARKUP] > [SGML DOC]
DESCRIPTION
The sgml to anything converter
What "sgml2" does.
It takes a specification (e.g. ./html) that is basically a DTD and
produces an output file from your <TAGGED> document corresponding
to the DTD.
This gives an introduction to the concept of "Generalized Markup"
(Goldfarb et al 1970); where the tags describe a documents structure
rather than its physical characteristics. The physical
characteristics can be rendered by the veiwing software acording to
the programmers whim.
This gives you a flexible systm for controlling the output of your
SGML source, without having to write a full DTD.
USE
How does it work?
Sgml2 needs a configuration-file which is used to determine what
tag-names are known and how the affect the output.
The configuration-file(s) should be moved to a location referenced
by the envionment variable SGML2LIB.
