SGML

The DITA content -- now in normalized SGML form -- is inserted with a slight bit of modification into the original output stream.

Q: Are there any more lessons you think we can learn from SGML before we "stab it in the back, " as you suggested in your speech?

It is designed to work with the sort of tables used in DocBook (which are based on a model of tables popular in SGML).

You may be tempted to edit those SGML fragments to improve the book's flow -- but that results in two diverging copies of the source.

Docbook was originally a popular SGML format for authoring books and documentation, especially of a more technical nature.

I am planning a third pass at the document to do a proper SGML representation of the word glossaries and additional links in the text.

The answer is that the same approach can be applied to any SGML or XML system, with varying degrees of complexity.

To understand entities, you must be aware of the state of file systems 20 years ago when SGML -- XML's ancestor -- was introduced.

TEI itself is not an SGML or XML application, but rather a set of guidelines from which languages (DTDs) can be constructed.

On the one hand, it was supposed to simplify SGML down to one reasonable, standard subset everyone could agree on and faithfully implement.

At a first approximation then, XML documents should also be valid SGML documents.

a set of tags and rules (conforming to SGML) for using them in developing hypertext documents.

Please note that the list below is a simplification of the full SGML syntax rules and does not address, e. g. , precedences.

If, however, you will also be dealing with SGML, the DTD you are using will probably reference its own declaration.

Like SGML, HTML allowed authors to describe the structure of a document, separating headers from paragraphs, ordered and unordered lists.

The document-oriented members come from an SGML past where agile access to a relatively small amount of XML data is important.

XML represents a significant simplification of SGML, and it includes adjustments that make it better suited to the Web environment.

XML has many components that no one would describe as elegant, including parts that were holdovers from the earlier SGML standard.

SGML included ways of adding shortcuts to reduce the amount of tagging required, and could even completely redefine document syntax.

Of course, there needed to be a DITA-to-SGML conversion process.

It is a widely adopted SGML representation for tables , and overall a very influential model for tables in various document languages .

While most SGML attributes are not translatable, some may be translatable, and must therefore be extracted.

(3) discover the physical and logical characteristics of the format of the "source" document that will automatically allow SGML labeling.

At present SGML is, for many reasons, the best option for conceptually codifying a document's structural units in the broadest sense.

SGML can seem complex, and HTML (which was really just an element set) was just not powerful enough to identify information.

As such, this question is as old as SGML, the precursor of XML, and has been hotly debated with no universally accepted consensus.

Having a different cultural history from SGML, XML is undergoing its own process of tool development.

XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a markup language derived from SGML, and its specification is organized by W3C.

Intermediate SGML can be stored in a temporary folder so it doesn't mix with the actual source.

Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), an SGML document type, also encloses content within meaningful tags.

The part following PUBLIC is an SGML feature, and you don't really need it in XML documents.

The SGML method of declaring reusable external entities is available for XML users, but this has several practical limitations in XML.

Be sure to keep a copy of the original English SGML source that you translated from!

SGML, the document-oriented ancestor of XML, had a way round this.

When including DITA as SGML fragments, you must declare those fragments as SGML entities, to be resolved later.

If you don't pick up the correct SGML declaration when validating your XML, you will probably receive a lot of error messages.

I've included a variety of document types, including both SGML and XML document types (some are commented out).

XML stands for eXtensible Markup Language and is a simplified subset of SGML.

These institutions use the EAD DTD, and currently encode their archival finding aids using the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML).

Almost no one precedes their HTML documents with the SGML doctype command.

Processing completes, resulting in one complete normalized SGML file (llama. idn).

This is somewhat ironic as, in the early days of XML, its proponents took great delight in proclaiming the simplicity of XML over SGML.

You can disable the prompting by setting the sgml-insert-missing-element-comment variable to false in your Emacs initialization file.

It also leaves a lot of SGML files sitting around that look remarkably like source files, which can result in updates to the wrong files.

It does, however, provide the ability to validate SGML and XML documents using an external parser.

The official SGML specification is over 150 very technical pages. It covers many special cases and unlikely scenarios.

From the menu or keyboard Ctrl-c Ctrl-v, PSGML will shell a process to invoke the SGML parser against the file you are currently editing.

The current distribution of GNU Emacs includes major editing modes for HTML and SGML.

You can change the indenting assumptions by setting sgml-indent-data to true in your Emacs initialization file.

The last section defines my-psgml-hook and hooks it into the SGML mode.

So SGML defined a more abstract view of the file system, called entities.

Has evolved in structure somewhat from the SGML days, but the work product is similar.

Like SGML before it, XML is a meta-language: It is a syntactic basis for defining further languages.

DTD specifies the syntax of a web page in SGML.

Whenever you add a new DTD, you'll probably want to update the sgml-custom-dtd variable to add your new DTD to the Insert DTD menu.

Even when graphics were an issue, SGML was ultimately about text, text, text.

If you are dealing only with XML, you will need only a single SGML declaration defined for XML.

The tag language has been developed from older markup standards including GML and SGML.

Document Type Definition file used by SGML and XML to define mark-up languages.

In our SGML DTD, a DITA topic corresponds roughly to a division element.

SGML was created for organizing and tagging documents.

Until recently, the primary large-scale authoring format inside IBM was IBMIDDoc SGML.

Entities can be SGML documents, DTDs, or so-called unparsed entities like binary data.

The former is a vocabulary derived from HTML; the latter is based on the CALS standard for tables in SGML languages.

SGML and XML modes aren't much use without incorporating the DTDs to describe the types of documents you need to create.

Convert the translated DITA to SGML, and send those translated fragments with the English book.

However, the designers of XML went out of their way to remove the tag reduction options in SGML.

In SGML, architectural forms are a classic way to provide mappings from one document type to another.

Also, this solution is not possible if the DITA topics and SGML files are being translated at the same time.

A subset of Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) that is optimized for delivery over the Web.

Prose-oriented documents borrow from XML's SGML roots.

In the early 1990s, the first version of HTML was based on Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML).

It is best to rip out legacy concerns (some arcane SGML features, for instance) that cause unnecessary complexity.

The PYX format is a line-oriented representation of XML documents that is derived from the SGML ESIS format.

XML 1. 0 came bundled with the schema technology inherited from SGML.

PSGML needs to know where to find the SGML catalog files.

Now Emacs should have access to the PSGML files and it will use PSGML whenever you invoke sgml-mode or xml-mode.

XML is based on Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), defined in ISO 8879: 1986 [ISO Standard].

So here's how to add some DTDs and the appropriate configuration to make them useful with PSGML.

Next, you need to create an SGML catalog file that PSGML can use to find these DTDs.
