@ndw The author is one of the people I’m trying to reach! (If they’re still around. They published another paper at the same conference in 2019.)
@mwichary Well, if you mean the author of the stupid SGML tricks paper, that'd be, uh, looks around nervously, me. Who else are you looking for?
@ndw Sorry, got the papers mixed up! Mostly just trying to figure out how SGML got its brackets. https://mastodon.online/@mwichary/114715424372809982
@mwichary No problem. I know a couple of old time SGMLers. I've asked around and if I get any interesting responses, I'll let you know.
@ndw Thanks so much! Happy to write a blurb, too.
@ndw Or, if anyone has records of the proceedings or working docs!
