| sgmltools command should have its manpage. Can't you read it by
| "man sgmltools" ?
|
| for html, use "sgmltools -b html <sgml files>"
|
| for ps, use "sgmltools -b ps <sgml files>"
|
| for txt, use "sgmltools -b txt <sgml files>"
|
| Here is quoted from "man sgmltools"
|

|
| The package list implies that Greg uses jade itself.
| Usage of jade is some more complicated (or having too long options and
| arguments to remember), but using jade itself can bring you more power,
| for example, sgml-tools-2 can not handle DocBk XML currently, AFAIK.
