SGML Software

This is just a list of stuff that I know and have used.
SGML to TeX Converter
Found at http://www.ucc.ie/info/net/sgml2tex.html. This is beta software, and presently runs only under MS-DOS (I don't know why). (11/April/1996)
sgmlspl.pl
This is a perl version 5 application for converting SGML documents to other formats by providing a specification file detailing exactly how you want to handle each element, external data entity, subdocument entity, CDATA string, record end, SDATA string, and processing instruction. Very nice. This is found at: http://www.uottawa.ca/~dmeggins/sgmlspl/sgmlspl.html (11 April 1996)

Programs such as dtd2html (creates an HTML-based analysis of a DTD), perlSGML (perl software for dealing with SGML) and much more. Found at: http://www.oac.uci.edu/indiv/ehood/ (11/April/96).
