Lynx displays that subset of SGML documents that are valid HTML documents.
It also displays many documents which purport to be HTML but which are
not valid SGML and therefore not valid HTML. NB all valid HTML is also
SGML.
Support for other SGML documents would require style sheet support
as a pre-requisite and the current industry trend is towards the XML
subset of SGML in this area, rather than full SGML support (i.e. towards
self defining elements rather than the use of DTDs).
The plans for Lynx are the union of the plans of the individual authors.
Are you proposing to become an author and are you planning to provide
general DTD and style sheet support?
