Conceptually, RTF is similar to SGML in that there is a fairly
general syntax which delimits various types of entities.
Actually, herein lies a religious war. One can use SGML *syntax* to
write things like <bold> or even <bold size=VeryLarge>. However,
conceptually, SGML is intended for use with "generic" markup and not
"formatting" markup or specification...
If my memory is correct, RTF provides formatting specification/markup,
not conceptual/generic markup.
Indeed. It's a vital distinction, and one which I do in fact
appreciate, and should have mentioned. Thanks.
