The SGML FAQ Book

by Steven J. DeRose

The Published Endorsements

From Joe Gangemi

". . .The SGML FAQ Book is an outstanding collection of anomalies related to text processing in general, and SGML in particular. Applications of SGML, such as HTML, are having a major impact on the way data is disseminated over such powerful new distribution channels as the World Wide Web. Steve DeRose has brought his invaluable insights into the use and misuse of SGML in such real-world situations. . . Text processing can be very complicated, but it need not be. Not if you know where the pitfalls are and how to avoid them. I think Steve has found them all."

Joseph V. Gangemi

Principal Co-designer, SGML


From Sharon Adler and Anders Berglund

". . . Although not evident to all, many people have been waiting more than a decade for The SGML FAQ Book by Steve DeRose. It has been 'brewing' for a long time, with many hours, months, years of research talking to people, gathering their ideas, listening to their frustrations, applauding their successes. Only Steve with his experience, credentials, wit, and enthusiasm for the subject could have written this book. . . We know the book will help you find your way around many of the nooks and crannies of SGML to enable a productive and beneficial use of this most important of all Standards." [From the Foreword]

Sharon Adler

Vice Chairman, SGML

Anders Berglund

Publisher, SGML


From Eric van Herwijnen

"Anyone who has some SGML knowledge and has used SGML software will find this book very useful indeed. Those features of SGML that seem bizarre and esoteric and those that cause problems to the inexperienced (and experienced!) user are clearly explained. Moreover, Steve draws on his wide breadth of contacts in the SGML community and his own participation in the standardization process to place these features in their correct historical context. This helps enormously to augment the readers' understanding and effective use of SGML. In the end, everyone benefits by this, especially those who have invested much time and effort in SGML and HTML." [From the Foreword]
