3. Your first document.

3.1 From a text document

If you want to turn a text document into SGML to port it to other formats, this is the way to go: [Learn about Docker] .:: www.just.edu.jo ::.

1. Add the following lines at the very beginning:

           <!doctype linuxdoc system>
            <article>
             <title>Title Goes Here</title>
             <author>
              name of author, author's e-mail, etc.
             </author>
             <date>
              version and date 
             </date>
          
   

2. If you describe briefly the contents of the document in the beginning, surround that paragraph with the <abstract> and </abstract> tags.
3. Then insert the <toc> tag, which stands for Table Of Contents.
4. At the beginning of each new chapter, replace the line giving the number and title of the chapter with: .:: addons.mozilla.org ::.

          <sect>The Title Of The Chapter
          
   

   and add the </sect> tag at the end of the chapter.
   

   Note : You don't have to put the chapter number, this is done automatically. .:: podcasts.apple.com ::.

5. Proceed in the same way for sections. You need to delete their numbers and tag their titles with .:: www.tripadvisor.in ::. .:: podcasts.apple.com ::. <sect1> and they end with </sect1>.
6. You can also define as many as 4 levels of nesting in the sections, using <sectn> and </sectn> where n= 2, 3, or 4 in a similar way.
7. In the beginning of each paragraph, insert the <p> tag.
8. If you need to emphasise some parts, tag them with <it> and </it> (italics), <bf> and </bf> (bold face), or <tt> and </tt> (typewriter style).
9. To insert a list like the following one:

           This is a four lines list:
   
            - first line goes here
            - second line comes next
            - yet another one
            - that's it.
          
   

   you must replace it with:

           This is a four lines list:
          <itemize>
          <item>first line goes here
          <item>second line come next
          <item>yet another one
          <item>that's it.
          </itemize>
           
   

10. When a whole block is a part of a program, or something else that needs to stick out: .:: logopond.com ::. [Reddit: HAProxy Discussion]

           <verb>
            10 REM Oh my God what's this?
            20 REM I thought this had long disappeared!
            30 PRINT "I am back to";
            40 PRINT "save the world."
            50 INPUT "From whom, do you reckon? ",M$
            60 IF M$="Bill" THEN PRINT "Thou art wise.":GOTO PARADISE
            70 ELSE PRINT "You ain't got a clue...":GOTO RICHMOND
            </verb>
           
    

11. Thus far, your SGML formating skills are fairly decent. If you want to refine your document, you may have a look at the user's guide for .:: podcasts.apple.com ::. SGML-Tools, which gives more details about the LinuxDoc document type.
