The EDMLtool and FigEdit support designers with menus and helpfunctions to create professional documents." EDML code is small and efficient, the number of EDML tags is quitelimited.References[1] Ericsson Document Markup Language, EDML (User s Manual)100/190 82-CNA 348 01 Uen Rev.G� Ericsson Telecom AB 1994[2] EDMLtool R4 User s Guide19817-CAA 139 1073 Uen,� Ericsson Telecom AB 19951348.SGMLIntroductionThe Standard General Mark-up Language (SGML) is an internationalstandard for document layouting.SGML separates documents in twoparts: content and form.As in EDML, mark-up words or tags define thestructure of the text in the document.Ericsson s customers were unhappy with the layout quality of EDML doc-uments.That is why more and more design documents use SGML, and allcustomer documents must use SGML today.Chapter ObjectivesAfter completing this chapter you are able to:" Describe concepts and major components of SGML" Create SGML documents with the Text and Graphics toolFigure 8.1Chapter ObjectivesSGML ConceptSGML tags indicate the logical structure of a document and tell the for-matter what type of information a text segment contains, but not how histext segment should look like.The formatter, then, formats the documentaccording to a document type definition (DTD) which includes certain lay-out standards and formatting parameters.This helps the document author to concentrate on the contents of the docu-mentation, and no time is wasted on the task of layouting.Moreover,SGML DTDs guarantee that all documents using this DTD have the samestructure and layout.The documents become consistent, easier to read,reusable and guarantees their longevity.HistorySGML is one of several mark-up languages, the development of SGMLstarted as early as the late 1960s [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
