- Abstract
- Outlines the process of converting an ASCII encoded encyclopedia (the Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology) into SGML for formatting and full-text indexing. The ASCII text was modified as needed, then parsed and converted into SGML. Graphics were scanned from the original pages and coordinated with the text by a graphics control fole generated from the ASCII text. Production of the full-text index and TeX file from SGML was straightforward, except for tables. Some of the problems of formatting tables are described along with solutions
