I'm looking for opinions regarding the uses of SGML.
As a universal mark up language, it apppears to be a great tool for
single source documentation development. What particular types of
documents or development environments is SGML most suited for? Would
environments where constant document updates occur be suitable for SGML
use? Could online help benefit?
As simply a markup language, what procedures would have to be used to
have a completed document, suitable for various media?
Which situations would the use of SGML be a more of a hinderance than a
help?
