The things about SGML is that it is write once, format
many times in many different ways.
I've been talking the tldp.org to help get it so I can
get some nice html formats for you guys to look at and
comment on. but to answer your question. yes to make
it more readable you should translate SGML to html.
Let me know if you want to know how to do this?
