A Review of the HTML + Document Format

Abstract HTML + is a set of modular extensions to the hypertext markup language (HTML), which is in widespread use in the World Wide Web. The use of SGML to specify HTML + allows authors to create documents in a variety of ways: with text editors, SGML authorizing tools and filters from common word processing formats like Framemaker, Microsoft Word and LaTeX. The paper finishes by looking at extensions under current consideration and encouraging wider debate on what is needed to fuel the next stage in the development of the Web.
