- With SGML, "What You See Isn't All You Get"
-
- Dear Keith,
-
- This memo is being written to demonstrate the power and simplicity of
- the SGML markup minimization and WYSIWYG support.
-
- Although only one tag is visible in the document (to identify an optional
- "carbon copy" recipient), the SGML parser recognizes 15 different
- element types. This allows each element to be formatted differently;
- for example, the start and end of a quotation can have differing
- curved quotation marks (the normal typesetting convention), even though
- identical straight quotation marks were used as the WYSIWYG entry convention.
-
- Yours truly,
-
