@mollydotcom HTML started as a weak SGML dialect strongly influenced by BookMaster, CALS (for tables) and Euromaths (for maths)

@glazou @mollydotcom HTML started as a copy of the IBM Starter Set for SGML, although the CERN documentation did not say that.

@svgeesus @glazou Is it documented anywhere? And which year of that starter set? I'd love to see that!

@mollydotcom @svgeesus @glazou It's an appendix in The SGML Handbook. Might also be elsewhere.

@mollydotcom @glazou Sharon Adler told me and has copy of the physical CERN documentation. Year, unsure.
