- (Pilch) asks for SGML guidance with particular stress on relating it to
- TeX. One valuable resource is the journal of the (American) TeX Users
- Group, TUGboat: since 1990 they've published numerous articles on
- SGML+TeX work---such as my own in the issue of December 1991. My
- article has a discussion of the difficulties of using TeX as a language
- for data representation, and the advantages of limiting TeX's role to
- typesetting and using SGML to encode the data. There have been many
- other articles that focus on working applications that people have
- devised: the issue without an SGML article in the last few years has
- been rare.
-
- Unfortunately, you'll have to find a paper copy of TUGboat somewhere,
- since it isn't available electronically.
