SGML & HTML Info
The Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) is a extensible document language that portably describes embedded data and document structure. It does not define document formating - leaving it up to a viewer to define the appearance of the document. SGML documents require a Document Type Definition (DTD) to define parsing and handling of document structure.The Hyper-Text Markup Language (HTML) is designed to be an SGML implementation that provides a certain amount for formatting information (Bold, Italic, Font color/size, etc.). In practice, HTML documents are rarely SGML-compliant - making an SGML implementation of an HTML document impractical.
