It might be possible to implement some kind of pseudo-SGML, that is something which would look like a SGML document, without actually being one. One part of a SGML document is the Document Type Declaration (the DTD) which specifies the syntax of the document text: in which order tags come, if certain tags must follow other tags and so on. Implementing this in TeX is probably not worth while. It would probably be easier to adapt the NIST SGML parser to spit out TeX code instead of parsed SGML. -- Anders Thulin ath@prosys.se {uunet,mcsun}!sunic!prosys!ath Telesoft Europe AB, Teknikringen 2B, S-583 30 Linkoping, Sweden
