An online introduction to the Internet intended "for librarians and
other information professionals" and produced by the University of South
Carolina at Beaufort is available (and free); it is called The Electronic Library Classroom
101. It might be worth a try.
From William Cawley, at Notre Dame, Traister reprints the
following: "SGML provides rules on how to define document types; HTML is
one SGML document type. EAD is another document type, designed for use in
marking up finding aids. So HTML and EAD are both SGML. You can easily
mark up documents using any word processor that can save files as plain
text. You can define your own macros to put in the tags you have decided
to use. I doubt that any editor will be designed for EAD specifically. For
some general editors, see:
