Well, asl ong as this newsgroup exists, I suppose I might as well post a
question.  I'm doing a little bit of work with an encyclopedia which was
given to us for research work in SGML format.  There are a couple of
things in the text which I don't have any documentation for and am
not totally sure of.

Some articles in this encyclopedia contain cross references to other articles
and they use some SGML syntax to do that.  Are those commands part of
SGML or extensions?  How can I find out what the "base" SGML is (if
it exists)?

Thanks for any help.
