I imagine it could be useful to teach GNU Emacs about SGML document structure and insert document types, tags and entities from lists of each, to have an active syntax (and perhaps some semantics) checking while writing. Modifying fill-paragraph to understand specific tags would also be helpful. I'm still too new to SGML to write this myself, so if anybody is already working on it, or have something finished, it would be very nice to know about it. Perhaps a GNU Emacs-Lisp-based package to translate SGML documents into your favorite specific markup language (TeX, troff, script, ...)? Just another idea... [Erik]
