Hallo:
However, Word does have a decent HTML and XML output filter, right? That can
only get better. How many tech writers really *need* SGML, outside of those
writing for the federal government? I don't expect any increased SGML use to
really affect Word, if the continuous history of product instability hasn't.
The positives , VBA, ubiquity, foreign-GUI translation, and strength of the
manufacturer are not likely to go away soon (despite the DOJ).
Best regards,
Sean
