I am from a document processing background. I used troff (a Unix document formatting tool) to define document. It was great but nobody support it any more. Then I looked at PostScript but then again it is not an ideal document formatting language although
you could convert PostScript to PDF and show the document on a WEB browser. I looked in to HTML but then you cannot publish documents and allow everybody to define what is Heading 1 <H1>.
I was interested in finding a document formatting language that is not proprietary but allows to print on printers, show the exact document on a browser or store it so it can be stored/retrieved later. So I was told that SGML and or XML can define exact f
onts, sizes and formatting commands and show the exact copy of a print out on a browser.
Q1> How true is the above statement.
Q2> Is there a book like Dummy's Guide to XML
Q3> Can you give me some good WWW site references for XML (W3C is not good for a begginer.)
Thank you
