....Such a scanning procedure to analyze and process the record requires at least 35 lines of code. 4.2 General problems These problems are not atypical with document encoding schemes. In our work with text formatting languages, we discovered several general categories of lexical analysis problems [21], all requiring the writing of sometimes lengthy and complex action routines. Broad descriptions of these would be (1) context sensitive markup, 2) implicit markup, 3) white space, and (4) matching start end tag pairs. Context sensitive markup refers to the fact that some tags change meaning in ....

....certain allowable options. The considerations emphasize uniformity and simplicity in the data representation. The considerations are not comprehensive: they do not address all of the features of SGML. They are based on our extensive experience gleaned from writing software to process existing DTDs [12] and from consulting with agencies who are developing DTDs. A primary principle that has been applied in the formulation of these considerations derives from software engineering: identify separate functionsand design modular, possibly layered, systems to implement them. Widespread distribution, ....
