Abstract:

SGML is a tool that will change the way technical communicators work, it will also change the way companies operate. To implement SGML requires careful planning. Success will allow information to be created once and used repeatedly. This technology will benefit any company that requires large amounts of technical information to be shared and eventually updated. DTDs, FOSIs and parsers will all have to be understood before a move to SGML is contemplated. SGML does for document creation what word processing did for typing, some years ago. It adds repeatable format structure and style to an information document.
