Available now: <title>The SGML Primer. SoftQuad's Quick Reference Guide to the Essentials of the Standard: The SGML Needed for Reading a DTD and Marked-up Documents and Discussing them Reasonably</>. Version 2.0 Toronto: SoftQuad Inc., May 1991. 36 pages. Available from SoftQuad Inc., 720 Spadina Avenue, Toronto, CANADA M5S 2T9; Tel: +1 (416) 963-8337; FAX: +1 (416) 963-9575. Price prepaid: $10.00 (ten dollars). The booklet offers a light-hearted and highly readable introduction to the essentials of SGML. Contains some surprising examples, including a DTD for "<! -- Lunch at the Steakhouse -->," demonstrating that SGML is not just for structuring formal documents, but for structuring information. I shall defer to the SGML experts for critical review. Enjoyable reading, and even your boss might understand SGML for the first time. Robin Cover
