Publicity prose:
 
	Are you fed up with incompatible word processor formats?  Are you
	frustrated by the lack of interchangeability of the documents you
	painstakingly create?  Or do you have difficulties in creating an
	integrated database of documents in a multivendor environment?
 
	If so, "Practical SGML" is for you.  It shows how, by using SGML,
	you can interchange documents and process them on many different
	systems in many different ways.  SGML, the Standard Generalized
	Markup Language, is the ISO (International Standards Organization)
	standard for text representation.  The SGML format is independent
	of a particular text formatter of any kind of processing.  It is
	portable, structured, and readable, making it easier to create
	document databases.
 
	With the US Department of Defense and many computer manufacturers
	expressing their interest in SGML through the CALS (Computer-aided
	Acquisition and Logistics Support) initiative, this standard, and
	any application using it, is guaranteed a long and fruitful life.
	"Practical SGML" will help you make the most of it.
