I'm trying to do some docs for someone.
i started doing it in ascii text/vi.
then i was asked to do it in  sgml.

i've looked around for a editor that does sgml.
I've looked for a viewer that displays sgml.

everyone keeps pointing me at docbook, but my understanding is that it is 
just a document translator.

what's the point of working in a format that nothing sees and nothing writes?
