Why Use SGML?
نویسنده
چکیده
The Standard Generalised Markup Language (SGML) is a recently-adopted International Standard (ISO 8879), the first of a series of proposed Standards in the area of Information Processing — Text and Office Systems. The paper presents some background material on markup systems, gives a brief account of SGML, and attempts to clarify the precise nature and purpose of SGML, which are widely misunderstood. It then goes on to explore the reasons why SGML should (or should not) be used in preference to older-established systems.
