Thanks. I installed Jade, but it has no manual page, plus the
documentation at /usr/pkg/share/doc/jade/ doesn't even mention Jade. I did
find basic documentation at http://www.jclark.com/jade/, but it doesn't
show much.

I don't know DSSSL and I don't know Jade. Is there some simple
command-line usage of Jade (or some other tool) where I can do something
like the following?

  sgml2html < foo.sgml > foo.html

Thanks. I also have a look at this. I have heard a lot about docbook,
maybe this is a good time to get started with it.

(The amount of time I have spent looking for a sgml to html converter I
could have written a script in perl or used sed to partially do what I
need.)
