i am confused about your work-process,
jeroen, perhaps you could explain it to me?
it would seem to me that the _output_
of the proofing process is the raw text,
which one polishes as the ascii version and
then -- if one chooses -- marks up some way.
but from what you say, you work a different way,
the .sgml (magically?) comes _first_, and is used
to generate other versions, including the plain-text.
what gives?
-bowerbird
p.s. i guess i'm also perplexed _why_ it is
difficult to generate plain-ascii from .sgml.
isn't it a straightforward matter of converting
(or, in some cases, stripping away) the markup?
or printing to .pdf and recovering text from that?
