I have seen that FreeBSD makes calls for SGML documentation. I know HTML and it is easy and pretty powerful with HTML 4.0 and CSS. I took a peek and SGML and my hair turned white. My brief look at SGML led me to think HTML is pretty good. I don't need to look at SGML. I am happy with this small subset. What makes SGML useful for docs? Is it conversion tools for different formats? Is it the power? I guess the short question would be, "Why should I learn SGML?"
