This directory contains sgmls.el, a LISP front-end for the SGMLS parser and any associated post-processors. By default, it is set up to use James Clark's sgmls with the sgmlsasp post-processor, but you can reconfigure it for use with sgmlspl by adding the following code to your ~/.emacs file: (setq-default sgmls-postprocessor "sgmlspl") You can also choose a central directory for your sgmlspl scripts, as in the following example: (setq-default sgmls-spec-directory "~/lib/perl5") There are many, many more options -- read the comments at the top of the file for details.
