The SGML FAQ Book
Author: S.J. DeRose

Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
Release Date: 2007-12-23
Although not evident to all, many people have been waiting more than a decade for The SGML FAQ Book by Steve DeRose. It has been "brewing" for a long time, with many hours, months, years of research talking to people, gathering their ideas, listening to their frustrations, applauding their successes. Only Steve with his experience, credentials, wit, and enthusiasm for the subject could have written this book. But it is also a measure of the success and maturity of ISO 8879 and its amazing longevity that allows an "SGMLer" to write such a book. We can now laugh at ourselves, even disclose our mistakes without fear of the other guy. While most would not recognize it, the revolution known as the World Wide Web would not have happened without a non-proprietary, easy, and almost "portable way to create and distribute documents across a widely disparate set of computers, networks, even countries. HTML, an SGML application, enabled this and as a result the world and the SGML community will never be the same. For some the term SGML means order, management, standards, discipline; to others, the term brings images of pain, confusion, complexity, and pitfalls. To all who have engaged in it, the Standard means hard work, good friends, savings in terms of time, money, and effort, a sense of accomplishment and best of all - fun. This book adds immeasurably to all of these. Enjoy the quote from Through Looking by Lewis Carroll as much as we have.
The SGML Handbook
Author: Charles F. Goldfarb

Publisher: Oxford University Press
Release Date: 1990
The Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) is a revolutionary innovation designed to improve the productivity and competitiveness of all computers. It greatly facilitates the sharing of data and the integration of diverse types of software, yielding a new era of efficiency and flexibility. This guide to SGML is written by the inventor of the language. In it he gives his thoughts on each clause of the widely adopted international standard, and explains every detail for the benefit of computer users. The handbook also includes the up-to-date amended full text of ISO 8879, extensively annotated, cross-referenced and indexed, along with additional tutorial and reference material. The book will be invaluable for all those involved in the development of SGML applications and the implementation of SGML systems.
Understanding SGML and XML Tools
Author: Peter Flynn

Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
Release Date: 2012-12-06
Peter Flynn has been an enthusiastic and skillful contributor in the world of SGML and XML for many years, and it is a pleasure to see him set some of his expertise down in writing as well. The range and power of SGML tools have taken a sharp upward turn: the first step leading to this was that the Web came along with HTML, and showed the whole world that pointy brackets and (at least somewhat) descriptive markup could make a difference. Soon afterward, 'HTML claustrophobia' began to grow and XML came to the rescue. Since XML is fundamentally an elegant subset of SGML that reduces complexity without reducing functionality, the movement to XML is great for SGML too. The massive interest in XML is bringing forth a huge variety of new, faster, more powerful, and cheaper software tools. Peter has caught the cusp of this change and shows in detail how SGML and XML tools fit together into integrated solutions that return value for your investment in structured information.
