Abstract
Abstract The apparatus for processing Standard generalized markup language document generates a SGML conversion form file correlating a prototype file having a specific form with document type definition by a SGML conversion form generation module, and converts, in a case where a plain text document prepared using the specific form is converted to a SGML document, the prepared plain text document to the SGML document by referring to the SGML conversion form file in a SGML document generation module, while in a case the reverse conversion is executed, the converted SGML document is reversely converted to the plain text document by referring to the SGML conversion form file in a SGML document read-in module.

Claim 5
Independent Claim
87 words
An apparatus for processing SGML document comprising: a registration unit for previously registering a conversion form correlating structural elements in a prototype document to those in document type definition for conversion between said prototype document having a specific form and said document type definition; a preparation unit for preparing a plain text document using the specific form; and a conversion unit for converting the plain text document prepared by said preparation unit to a SGML document by referring to the conversion form registered in said registration unit.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
87 words
An apparatus for processing SGML document comprising: a registration unit for previously registering a conversion form correlating structural elements in a prototype document to those in document type definition for conversion between said prototype document having a specific form and said document type definition; a preparation unit for preparing a plain text document using the specific form; and a conversion unit for converting the plain text document prepared by said preparation unit to a SGML document by referring to the conversion form registered in said registration unit.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
88 words
An apparatus for processing SGML document comprising: a registration unit for previously registering a conversion table correlating fields of a prototype document with tags of document type definition for conversion between said prototype document having a specific form and said document type definition; a preparation unit for preparing a plain text document using the specific form; and a conversion unit for converting the plain text document prepared by said preparation unit to a SGML document having tags by referring to the conversion table registered in said registration unit.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
88 words
An apparatus for processing SGML document comprising: a registration unit for previously registering a conversion table correlating fields of a prototype document with tags of document type definition for conversion between said prototype document having a specific form and said document type definition; a preparation unit for preparing a plain text document using the specific form; and a conversion unit for converting the plain text document prepared by said preparation unit to a SGML document having tags by referring to the conversion table registered in said registration unit.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
33 words

Claim 10
Dependent Claim
33 words
An apparatus for processing SGML document according to claim 4 ; wherein said specific form has fields such as ruled lines, application form, or form paper or the like for inputting the data.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
42 words
