No. A SGML DTD is a syntax description of the tags in a formalized
grammar that describes how to use the tag in context. Think of it as the
COBOL reference syntax diagrams. You'd need something like it to write a
formatter, or a context-sensitive editor, or any tool that accepted the
input and did something with it. There's no code involved; just a formal
description of the syntax.

I have the Bookie manuals. What I want do is write a tool that allows me
to format documents written with Bookie tags on other platforms. The
Bookie tags are well-thought-out, well documented, and easy to learn.
I'd like to keep them alive, because the alternatives frankly suck.
