Goldfarb Series. Here is more information from the press release: "Upper Saddle River, NJ, October 10, 1995 -- Prentice Hall PTR today announced the publication of README.1ST: SGML for Writers and Editors by Ronald C. Turner, Timothy A. Douglass, and Audrey J. Turner, the first volume in the Charles F. Goldfarb Series on Open Information Management. The Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) is rapidly emerging as the single most important and powerful tool for the creation of "smart documents". These dynamically formatted files can be presented on paper or on screen -- via CD-ROM or electronically over networks including the Internet and even the World Wide Web. In addition, smart documents can be used and reused across multiple hardware and software platforms. SGML is revolutionizing the world of documents in the same way the relational database technology revolutionized the world of data management. README.1ST is the first guide devoted to SGML specifically created for non-technical end users. Writers, editors and managers who need to understand the basics, deploy SGML, or start using SGML will find a fun and easy-to-read introduction to SGML in README.1ST. This new book gives the novice all of the information they need to begin using SGML in real situations. The authors begin by taking readers through the basics of SGML standards and structure, then lead you step-by-step through the development of an SGML document. The book covers markup tags, entities, attributes, and marked sections. The authors also teach readers how to read and customize a Document Type Definition (DTD). The book covers hypertext, hypermedia, and authoring for the World Wide Web. It also features a close-up look at HTML that shows HTML as a particular application of SGML. The book concludes with a glossary of SGML terms and the actual SGML markup of a chapter from the book. README.1ST includes a diskette containing software to help the reader get productive with SGML. It includes: SGMLab (tm), a viewer that allows users to validate and view SGML documents. A collection of sample documents. A World Wide Web page with links to sites containing HTML- and other SGML-related information. README.1ST: SGML for Writers and Editors, R. Turner, T. Douglass, and A. Turner. Prentice Hall PTR 1996. Book/Disk: ISBN 0-13-432717-9. 272 pp. $45.00. Available now." ******* Customer Ordering Information ... For Single Copy Orders: Prentice Hall PTR, Order Processing Center P.O.
