TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I was wondering if someone could help me with an urgent problem. I have
been searching the WWW for a reference document on SGML. For my TC
internship this semester, I have to convert some documents from HTML to
SGML and I have yet to find anything on the Web which gives the sytax
for SGML documents. I know that here at Clarkson, another TC student
has written a brief reference on how to write HTML documents so I'm
hoping that someone somewhere else has done the same for SGML.
If anyone knows of a WWW location or anonymous ftp site where I can find
such a document, or if anyone can give me a brief run-down of SGML syntax
(for example, what does <hi> do?) I would greatly appreciate it. This
has to be done by the end of the semester and it's been a slow processes
going through the texts and trying to figure out what the codes mean (I've
figured out most through the context they're used in, but some are used in
ways in which I can't see a connection).
Thank you,
