This is the qwertz Format README File. Format is an SGML to LaTeX
translator. It consists of
1) SGML document type definitions (DTDs) for the LaTeX document styles
(articles, books, reports, letters, slides), for BibTeX bibliographies
and for Unix manual pages. (The main DTD is called "qwertz", which is
also the name of our AI planning project for which the system was
developed.)
2) Programs for translating SGML documents of the these types into
LaTeX and groff.
3) A command for extracting source code from documentation, which is
useful for a simple kind of "literate programming".
Format allows LaTeX documents to be created using powerful and
comfortable SGML editors, such as Author/Editor, in a quasi WYSIWYG
manner. It also provides a layer of abstraction from LaTeX, allowing
documents to be more easily translated into formats for other document
processing systems, such as nroff/troff or MS-WORD.
Format is availably by anonymous ftp from ftp.gmd.de. It is in the
gmd/sgml directory. The latest version is in the file named, take a
deep breath: sgml2latex-format.1.2.tar.Z
Read the INSTALL file in the format directory for information about
installing the system. A postscript version of the users manual is in
format/doc/manual.ps . The manual pages are in format/man.
Please feel free to contact Tom Gordon at thomas.gordon@gmd.de if you
need help or have suggestions for improvements or bug fixes.
