SGML Category SGML Author Capacity
Attributes Attributes are handled using Word's
Private Fields which are designed to
store information that does not appear
in the document. This enables SGML
Author users to insert Attributes into
the text stream without having to view
them unless they want to.
Entity References SGML Author supports Entity References
as long as they are defined correctly
in the DTD and the user enters the
appropriate Parameter Entity in the
document text stream.
ID/IDRef Pairs SGML Author automatically converts
Bookmarks to ID Attributes and Ref
Fields to IDRefs.
OLE Objects and OLE Objects and Pictures can be saved
Pictures as *.CGM or *.WMF graphic files, or
they can be saved out as binary files
that Word can retrieve later.
Tables SGML Author supports a subset of the
CALS table model based on Word's table
features.
International SGML Author supports international
Characters characters defined in the ISO character
entity sets. All glyphs in the ANSI
character set above 127, the Zapf
Dingbats, WingDings, and Symbol fonts,
and some glyphs that are part of the
Reference Concrete Syntax are turned
into character entities.
Equations SGML Author converts to and from the
ISO standard (ISO/IEL TR 9573-11:1992E)
for representing equations as SGML.
You can also choose to export equations
as OLE Objects.
Mark-up SGML Author supports SHORTTAG, OMITTAG,
Minimization SHORTREF on import and exports them as
fully normalized SGML. Datatag and
rank are not supported by SGML Author.
Marked Sections SGML Author imports marked sections
based on whether they are marked as
'Included' or 'Ignored'. SGML Author
does not export marked sections because
Word does not support conditional text.
Direct Formatting All mark-up in Word documents must use
either Paragraph styles, or for inner
paragraph mark-up, Character styles.
All direct formatting is ignored.
Multiple DTD's SGML Author can be configured to work
with any DTD using point-and-click
tools
