Sgmls is an {SGML} {parser} derived from the

{ARCSGML} parser materials which were written by Charles

Goldfarb. It outputs a simple, easily parsed, line oriented,

{ASCII} representation of an SGML document's Element Structure

Information Set (see pp 588-593 of "The SGML Handbook"). It

is intended to be used as the front end for

structure-controlled SGML {application program}s.
