(The author assumes you already know SGML: the acronym isn't even expanded for you.) No, this book is for those specialists who are writing programs concerned with converting, or filtering, material to, from, or between SGML formats. After an introduction to the book, two chapters look generally at conversion activities. A further two discuss the conversion process overall. Chapters six through eleven look at programming languages for writing conversion filters; first severally, and then in detail at AWK, Perl, C and C++, OmniMark, and the author's own S-Engine. The remainder of the book looks at conversions between ASCII, HTML, RTF, TeX, and SGML. Document Type Definitions and sample code are used extensively. copyright Robert M.
