One markup language of the moment is HTML 3.2, but HTML is a >moving target and must be treated as such. I must ask - what is SGML to you?

There is no such thing as ``tagging files in SGML'' apart from using a specific tagset. Unless you're using a specially abstracted storage mechanism... ;) Steve -- Steven Champeon !
