- Abstract
- DSSSL is ISO/IEC 10179 and international standard for the formatting and other processing of SGML documents. DSSSL was completed in Jan 96 after 8 years of development. From its inception, DSSSL was conceived as a companion standard to SGML, where SGML is a language for standardizing the way documents structures are represented without regard to its form or presentation. It ispossible to use SGML mark-up to represent formatting information, but this is discouraged, since doing so makes a document more difficult to reuse and reprocess. Reuse is generally a significant requirement for SGML data so it is not a good idea to pollute documents with presentational mark-up. Yet formatting of some nature is desirable, and sometimes critical, for all documents, and in some cases users want to interchange this formatting information in a standardized, non-proprietory format, DSSSL is key to enabling this interchange
