I need information on Standard Graphics Markup Language (SGML) and
Standard Document Markup Language.  Specifically:

	o  what are they?

	o  why would I want to use either of them?

	o  how do they differ functionally from PostScript (tm)?

	o  what documentation is available?

	o  what types of information can be encoded with these
	   langauges?

Thanks in advance.
