1 - Introduction




NThe SDM2HTM utility converts SDML documents into HTML documents. SDML is the <Standard Digital Markup Language used as source for VAX IDOCUMENT. HTML is the HyperText Markup Language used as the native Drich text of the Hypertext environment. Hypertext documents Iproduced by this utility look and behave very much like their Bookreader cousins. 

NSpecial constructs allow the inclusion of content in only the HTML version of 7a document, or only in the printed/Bookreader versions.

OThe utility contains no syntax checks in itself, and relies on a syntactically Hcorrect SDML source. It has worked well on all documents syntactically Kverified by prior formatting against VAX DOCUMENT. It contains fixed-size 1buffers making it vulnerable to atypically large ?SMALLCAPS constructs (tags with parameters), and syntax &errors not closing certain constructs.

JA buffer overflow error is generated if buffer space is exhausted.
