[lug] Latex and SGML

[Jim Easter]

LaTeX (note goofy capitalization) is a set of macros which runs on top of 
Donald Knuth's TeX typesetting language.  It has no particular relationship 
to SGML that I know of.

LaTeX and TeX are superb tools for generating attractive, consistently 
formatted documents.  More info may be found at:

Also note that there is now a (sort of) WYSIWYG interface to LaTeX, known 
as Lyx.  Try it - it's great!  Info is at:
http://www.lyx.org/

I've been looking into XML a bit and am wondering if there is a 
relationship between SGML (of which XML is a subset) and Latex or if they 
are two separate markup languages. Is there a comparison between the two or 
is Latex a subset of SGML or am I way off base?
