SGML pops up all over this report, which seems to be reflective of SGML's continued stable presence at various shows and events. Here's a sampling of products featured at Documation and other shows last spring: SoftQuad's Explorer and Hal's Olias: SGML-based browsers EBT's Dynabase: an SGML-based document database SoftQuad and Quark's SGML Enabler: for SGML support within Quark applications Arbortext's PowerPaste: SGML conversion tool for interactive environments The following excerpt comes from an editorial from Mary LaPlante titled "LaPlante: The 'Info Gap' Closes." "One of the most significant benefits of SGML is the flexibility it provides. Since SGML separates content from format, SGML source files can be pumped out through different document preparation systems that support widely varying presentation media and platforms. SGML documents thus adapt readily to the display or print characteristics and requirements of different output devices -- desktop, laptop, palmtop; paper, in U.S. and international sizes; and Cd-ROM, network server, and Internet delivery. What I found at Documation was broader acceptance of standards such as SGML, coupled with a willingness to reengineer processes to take better advantage of data in document form...."
