SGML is a format, Thot is a toolset and an editor. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't seen a good SGML tool in our ports tree. Thot produces Latex and HTML. AFAIK HTML is a subset of SGML, so I guess Thot fits into the "standard". Anyway I think Amancio is right; we first have to determine if Thot is the right editor for our internal documentation. The searching process will be very fruitful if, like I hope, it translates into ports ! Pedro. > > Jordan
