Notice that all the article header information fits between your first <article> tag and your first <sect1> tag. Most of the code is self-documenting. To get a look at what this looks like parsed just look at the first page of this article. Or simply cut and paste it into your my1st.sgml document (taking care to paste it between your <article> tag and your first <sect1> tag), then build it.
