FM 9 and SGML

[Anthony Davey]

Ditto Michaels' comments.  When I first learned Frame it included SGML, but that was with version 5.5; ten years ago.

Mike,

FrameMaker can do SGML, the structured parts were invented in the late 1990s. But who would want to use SGML nowadays? XML is a standard since 2000, there are far more XML tools and solutions around and it is ages better if you think about translating any of your documents.

SGML crosses my way only in solutions dating back 5 or more years, for historical reasons. Everyone is planning to switch to XML.
