SGML also defines parsing rules such that a conforming parser can parse any past, present or future markup language defined with SGML. HTML is a markup language defined using SGML. The definition is known as a Document Type Definition, or DTD. The files you are looking at use a different DTD, in this case Linuxdoc. The textproc/sgmlformat port will convert these to HTML and to postscript or text via groff. XML is a simplified version of SGML. -john To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
