<title>Quickstart to Docbook and SGML</title>
<para>
If you are not familiar with SGML, it is a markup language similar to HTML.
- In fact, HTML is an SGML application. Both use <quote>tags</quote>
- to format text and other content. SGML tags are much more varied,
- and flexible, but do much of the same kinds of things. The tags,
- or <quote>elements</quote>, are definable in SGML. There is no
- set <quote>standards</quote>. Since we are using
- <application>Docbook</application>, our tags are those that are
- defined by <application>Docbook</application>. Much of how the
- finish document is rendered is determined by the <quote>stylesheets</quote>.
- The stylesheets determine how each tag gets translated to HTML, or
- other formats.

<para>
- Tags in SGML need to be always <quote>closed</quote>. If not, you
- will likely generate errors. Example:
- <literal><title>My Title</title></literal>. They are
- also case-insensitive, but we strongly suggest using all lower
-
case. This keeps compatibility with [Docbook] <application>XML</application>.
