Are there any programs to convert sgml-marked text into some decent
hypertext-system? I have a fairly extensively cross-referenced and indexed
text of 200 pages written using Latex, and I'll like to build a hypertext
system (preferably for PC's) out of it. I heard that the conversion from latex
to smgl wouldn't be too difficult (?).
 
A friend claimed that sgml will be very important in the hypertext-arena. 
Is that so? I dont know anything about sgml but am interested in hypertext, so
I'd like to know if sgml is something I should learn about.
