40.0. "SGML-to-HTML Converter?" by REGENT::WOODWARD (I'll put this moment...here) Fri Mar 29 1996 08:21

    Does anyone know of an SGML to HTML coverter that works?
    I'll be getting some files in SGML and need to convert them to 
    HTML.  Any pointers are appreciated!

40.1What DTD?CRAYON::GENTRevolutionize yourselfFri Mar 29 1996 09:349
    er... HTML *is* SGML (or rather, it can be... :-)
    
    You would need to be more specific. What SGML DTD do the
    documents use? There are existing HTML converters for some
    DTDs (such as docbook). For others, there are tools available
    to create converters (such as OminMark and DynaWeb), but 
    someone needs to define the rules that map tag-to-tag.

40.2CDE DTDREGENT::WOODWARDI'll put this moment...hereFri Mar 29 1996 13:0410
    Hi, Andrew:
    
    Yes, I know that the HTML and SGML are closely related, but getting
    from one format the next may be a challenge. 
    
    I am getting files from Xerox in SGML format. I believe they are going
    to use the CDE DTD.   Of course, if that DTD doesn't allow for easy
    conversion, I could request that they use another DTD.  
    
    Thanks for the information you provided! Kathy

    If DCE is based on docbook (which is not unreasonable to assume is
    possible), then O'Reilly and Sons have an unsupported docbook-to-HTML
    converter.
