NAME
       sgmlspl - a simple post-processor for nsgmls

SYNOPSIS
       sgmlspl spec file

DESCRIPTION
       sgmlspl	is a sample application to convert SGML documents to other formats by providing a specification file detailing exactly how to han-
       dle each element, external data entity, subdocument entity, CDATA string, record end, SDATA string, and processing instruction.

       To use sgmlspl, prepare a specification file containing regular perl5 code. If the SGML document were named doc.sgml, the sgmlspl  specifi-
       cation file were named, spec.pl, and the name of the new file were doc.latex, then use the following command in a Unix shell to convert the
       SGML document:

       nsgmls doc.sgml | sgmlspl spec.pl > doc.latex

       sgmlspl will pass any additional arguments on to the specification file, which can then process them in the regular perl5 fashion.
