O'Reilly's XML newsletter has an article that some might find of interest:

 

Long-time followers of XML will enjoy our blast from the past

this week as Rick Jelliffe brings the power of SGML to bear on

wikis.  Wiki markup is convenient for rapid markup but it is much

nicer to have the output in XML.  Rick shows how SGML and James

Clark's SP processor can make the translation.

We're using SX, an SGML-to-XML converter; part of the SP package, it is available as open source C++ code at the OpenJade http://openjade.sourceforge.net/ Project or directly from James Clark's site, http://www.jclark.com/sp/index.htm  which includes pre-made binaries for Windows. Linux users may find their system already comes with SP: try the command man sx or man osxto check.

 

 

Thanks,
