This is just the ones I use: sgml-base -- core debian SGML infrastructure sgml-data -- basic, std, SGML entities jade -- required; this package interprets and formats SGML with the stylesheets contained in this package sp -- jade infrastructure; nsgmls is good for validating SGML jadetex -- jade backend for SGML -> DVI, PS, PDF tetex-* -- may be needed for printed output / TeX docbook -- required DTDs; you need version 3.0 or better of the DTDs docbook-doc -- how to use the DTDs docbook-stylesheets -- formatting docbook document instance psgml -- Emacs/SGML editing; comes with XEmacs debiandoc-sgml-- Debian-specific DTDs and formatting For programmers working with XML, DSSSL, etc: sgmlspm -- perl modules for processing ESIS stream (from nsgmls) perlsgml -- (don't really use it) expat,libxmltok1 -- James Clark's non-validating XML parser libraries dsc -- DSSSL syntax checker, in case you're customizing DSSSL python-xml -- Python XML tools libxml -- W3O XML lib Still to be packged: XML::Parser (perl expat frontend), other perl XML stuff OpenXML (should be free) XML4j (not sure if utterly free, but close) Cacoon (see the Apache/Java project) -- .....Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]<URL:http://www.onShore.com/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
