Publisher's Synopsis
With this book, writers and editors should learn what they need to know to prepare and structure documents using the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML), the new standard for electronic and database publishing. Presenting a non-technical overview of SGML in a language that writers and editors can understand, this book explains why SGML focuses on structure and essentially disregards formatting issues. It shows how to define a document's structure, writing with SGML structure in mind, and then focuses on dialects of SGML such as HTML, designed for hypertext; and HyTime, an SGML standard that incorporates multimedia objects such as sound, video and animation.
