Copenhagen SGML Tool

Description

CoST, formerly known as"Copenhagen SGML Tool", now maintained and developed by Joe English is a tool for processing SGML data, based on TCL, the Tool Command Language. Since it is based on the ESIS output, generated for example by nsgmls, it works with XML data as well. Quote from the website:"Cost is a structure-controlled SGML application programming tool. It is implemented as a Tcl extension, and works in conjunction with James Clark's nsgmls and/or sgmls parsers. Cost provides a flexible set of low-level primitives upon which sophisticated applications can be built. These include * A powerful query language for navigating the document tree and extracting ESIS information; * An event-driven programming interface; * A specification mechanism which binds properties to nodes based on queries;"
