	Standard Generalized Markup Language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		SGML is a descendant of IBM's Generalized Markup Language (GML), developed in the 1960s by Charles Goldfarb, Edward Mosher and Raymond Lorie (whose surname initials also happen to be GML).
		SGML should not be confused with the Geography Markup Language (GML) developed by the Open GIS Consortium; cf, or the Game Maker scripting language, GML.
		SGML was originally designed to enable the sharing of machine-readable documents in large projects in government and the aerospace industry, which have to remain readable for several decades—a very long time in information technology.

	Overview of SGML Resources
		SGML, Standard Generalized Markup Language, is an enabling technology used in applications such as HTML.
		The SGML standard itself is not available online, but there's plenty of code to read if you're a hacker, and a few introductory documents for everybody.

	SGML
		The Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), was adopted as ISO 8879 in 1986 as the ISO standard for text encoding.
		Since its introduction 13 years ago, SGML is being used by an ever-increasing number of organizations to assist in the creation, management, storage, and delivery of their information products.
		SGML provides the ability to separate the coding of information for presentation from the coding of data content and structure.

	A Gentle Introduction to SGML
		SGML provides a general purpose mechanism for string substitution, that is, a simple machine-independent way of stating that a particular string of characters in the document should be replaced by some other string when the document is processed.
		SGML therefore provides a special mechanism by which any element occurrence may be given a special identifier, a kind of label, which may be used to refer to it from anywhere else within the same text.
		Like the SGML declaration it may be held in the form of compiled tables within the SGML processor, or associated with it in some way which is invisible to the user, or requires only that the name of the document type be specified before the document is validated.

	Standard Generalized Markup Language - a Whatis.com definition - see also: SGML (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language) is a standard for how to specify a document markup language or tag set.
		SGML is not in itself a document language, but a description of how to specify one.
		SGML is based on the idea that documents have structural and other semantic elements that can be described without reference to how such elements should be displayed.

	Cover Pages: Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML)
		Both SGML and XML are "meta" languages because they are used for defining markup languages.
		A markup language defined using SGML or XML has a specific vocabulary (labels for elements and attributes) and a declared syntax (grammar defining the hierarchy and other features).
		SGML is more customizable (thus flexible and more "powerful") at the expense of being (much) more expensive to implement.

	About XML or SGML Formatted Files
		SGML is a federal (FIPS 152) and international (ISO 8879) standard for identifying the structure and content of documents.
		SGML files are ASCII text files that contain "element identifiers" similar to the tags used in an HTML file.
		More information about XML and SGML can be found on the OASIS Cover Pages, on online resource for markup language technologies.

	TEI Guidelines for Electronic Text Encoding and Interchange
		SGML is an international standard for the definition of device-independent, system-independent methods of representing texts in electronic form.
		It is up to the creators of SGML conformant tag sets (such as these Guidelines) to choose intelligible names for the elements they identify and to document their proper use in text markup.
		The SGML declaration specifies basic facts about the dialect of SGML being used such as the character set, the codes used for SGML delimiters, the length of identifiers, etc. Its content for TEI-conformant document types is discussed further in chapters 39, Formal Grammar for the TEI-Interchange-Format Subset and 28, Conformance.

	Duxbury Systems -- SGML, Braille and UBC (Unified Braille Code)
		Consequently, there seems to be increasing interest in SGML, with attendant progress in technology, especially along the lines of combining SGML with appearance-oriented methods so that it is easier to experience the best of both.
		Despite these sobering realities, it has long been quite plain that SGML would work well for the braille community if only it were more widely used in the print community, that is if SGML files, coded for a commonly understood DTD, were more generally available as the starting-point for braille work.
		Suffice it to say that SGML and UBC are both positive developments for braille; that neither is sufficient in that each solves problems that the other does not; and consequently that they are entirely complementary, which is the main point of this paper.

		SGML is used widely to manage large documents that are subject to frequent revisions and need to be printed in different formats.

		Knowledge of basic SGML concepts and syntax will provide you with a solid foundation for mastering HTML and will help you understand some of the peculiarities of the language.
		The goal of this chapter, however, is not to teach you SGML or how to write SGML applications, but to show you how understanding SGML may aid in learning and applying HTML.

	Some notes on the history of XML
		I mean that there is a social feeling (this implies a fundamental degree of irrationality) within the SGML community, and among the broader computing milieu regarding the SGML community, a social feeling of lateness about SGML, SGML providers, and SGML users.
		SGML users typically don't throw away their tools every summer like bathing suits, to buy new ones just because they are available.
		SGML users will have to build a fence against DTD-less XML systems, if they want to keep their SGML systems and applications alive.

		Given how broad and confusing the SGML standard is, it's not surprising that this book on it is equally opaque -- this is, in my experience, the worst-written technical book I've ever seen that is not actually inaccurate.
		However, SGML is so far the only reasonably universal and standard way of marking up text, and this is the only comprehensive treatment of it, including all the peculiar little bits that you probably should never use.
		Yet SGML, bad as it is, is an important and useful standard, and this is a comprehensive reference for it.

		The actual content of the book: how to build SGML pages for web publication, is also very important, but, unfortunately, it describes a great vision of a future for The Internet, which now never will happen.
