  | sgmltools command should have its manpage. Can't you read it by
  |  "man sgmltools" ?
  |
  | for html, use "sgmltools -b html <sgml files>"
  |
  | for ps,  use "sgmltools -b ps <sgml files>"
  |
  | for txt,  use "sgmltools -b txt <sgml files>"
  |
  | Here is quoted from "man sgmltools"

  | The package list implies that Greg uses jade itself.
  | Usage of jade is some more complicated (or having too long options and
  | arguments to remember), but using jade itself can bring you more power,
  | for example, sgml-tools-2 can not handle DocBk XML currently, AFAIK.
