This class defines the SGML basic types, used for describing HTML 4.01 * at http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/types.html. Not all constants, * defined here, are actually used in HTML 4.01 SGML specification. Some others * are defined just as part of the required implementation. *
** If you need more information about SGML DTD documents, * the author suggests to read SGML tutorial on * http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-html40-970708/intro/sgmltut.html. * We also recommend Goldfarb C.F (1991) The SGML Handbook, * Oxford University Press, 688 p, ISBN: 0198537379. *
