Re: XyWrite

PMJI, but I thought I'd describe what I'm doing. I'm dealing primarily with
magazine article text, which have a fairly limited use of SGML tags (e.g.,

, <SUBTITLE>, <PAGENO>, <AUTHOR>, <P>, <SUBHEAD>).

I start by defining styles ("SS" command) with appropriate font, leading, tab
stops, margins, etc. Then change the tags to "US" commands. "</P>" becomes hard
returns, "</[W]>" (where [W] is the string wildcard) usually become "LB"
commands (so they stay in place, but won't print). The process can be reversed
in similar fashion.

This doesn't take full advantage of SGML formatting; more complex text
constructs (such as tables/text cells) need some intervention. But anyway,
there's one idea for you.
