SGML provides for more than just formatting. You can automatically build indexes, table of contents, and links within the document or to outside. The Jade and OpenJade packages also let you render to LaTeX, info, text, HTML, and RTF. From these basic formats, you can then create other formats such as MS Word, PostScript, PDF and so on … In the end, SGML is more concerned about the way elements work instead of the way they look. A big distinction,and one that will let you write faster, since you don't have to worry about placement of paragraphs, font sizes, font types, and so on. | ||
