Subject:SGML From:Pam Tatge <pamt -at- STEINBECK -dot- SC -dot- TI -dot- COM> Date:Thu, 24 Jun 1993 17:11:48 CDT
I need some inputs regarding two subjects:
o First, if any of you have converted documents to SGML, I'd like to hear
about your experiences with this.
o Second, what are your opinions about ASCII-based online display systems
(such as DynaText, which seems to be the current darling of the SGML
purists) compared to image-based online display systems (such as FrameViewer
or WorldView, which the same SGML purists dismiss as "mere image flippers").
I'm not specifically interested in tools (we use Interleaf and plan to
continue using Interleaf).
Thanks!
