TagWizard includes an incremental SGML parser for Windows that is integrated with Word 6.0 via Word basic macros. You do not need to use a style file in order to convert your documents to SGML. TagWizard makes Word into an interactive SGML and HTML editor. Word images are automatically converted to GIF files ready for browsing. Contact: 100043,3201@compuserve.com (Eric van Herwijnen)

Fawcett * Washington DC 20009 * miles@paynet.com > http://www.dolphin.org/maf To my knowledge, there is no off-the-shelf solution available. Probably the easiest/efficient way is to use SGML-SGML converters like Balise from AIS/France. (we have been using it with good results)The task of converting SGML down to HTML3 should be pretty easy, but it requires SGML knowledge. The other alternative is to use DynaText/DynaWeb (makes an online SGML->HTML conversion in the www-server, very elegant (though expensive) solution that is at it's best with large quantities of data) software from EBT (Electronic Book Technologies, Providence USA) From J.P.Knight@lut.ac.uk Fri May 27 12:39:17 1994 Article: 17413 of comp.infosystems.www From: J.P.Knight@lut.ac.uk (Jon P.

Yes. Intellitag takes a description of the type of document you are creating - sort of like a style file. This is called a DTD, and there is one that defines HTML. Another, not yet stable, for HTML+. The DTD defines what you can and can't do, so there is no problem with using 'features of SGML not in HTML'. Feed the DTD into Intellitag - which was one of the SGML tools I saw demonstrated at Eurographics UK recently - and you will be able to mark up your test with html tags. This saves you typing them in. It also checks things. So, for eample, if you have a level 1 header, it will not let you go straight to putting in a level 3 header. There are lots of other DTDs out there, for example in the publishing and defence industries. Intellitag can read those DTDs too, but then what it outputs is not HTML so would not be usagle for Web pages. ... -- Chris Lilley +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Technical Author, ITTI Computer Graphics and Visualisation Training Project | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Computer Graphics Unit, | Internet: C.C.Lilley@mcc.ac.uk | | Manchester Computing Centre, | Janet: C.C.Lilley@uk.ac.mcc | | Oxford Road, | Voice: +44 61 275 6045 | | Manchester, UK.

Two that I know of are OmniMark from Exoterica Corp in Canada and S-Engine which is public domain and available by ftp. Although any SGML translating parser should be able to handle the job. In general if you are going to a relatively rich DTD (and tag set) to a simpler one, HTML in this case, tag transformation is relatively easy to automate. Tag tranformation is a valid thing to have to do. A customer is moving toward a Web Server and storing HTML document. They are already moving toward heavy SGML use with other DTDs. So, moving documents from one DTD to another is going to be a way of life. I have no ties with OmniMark, other than my SGML customer just purchasing a copy. S-Engine on the other hand, I wrote.
