DocBook SGML and LinuxDoc are examples which used SGML tools. Standard versions SGML is an International Organization for Standardization, ISO standard: "ISO 8879:1986 Information processing – Text and office systems – Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML)", of which there are three versions: * Original ''SGML'', which was accept ...
