SGML Declaration
****************

   PSGML does not understand the SGML declaration, it accepts one in the
file but it is ignored.  If you have the SGML declaration in another
file you can make `sgmls' use it when you use the `C-c C-v'
(`sgml-validate') command (Note: Validate).

   PSGML has some options in what features it uses and what markup it
creates.  You have to set these options to make PSGML's behavior
consistent with your SGML declaration and personal preferences.

 - User Option: sgml-omittag
     Set this to `t' if the SGML declaration has `OMITTAG YES' and to
     `nil' otherwise.

 - User Option: sgml-shorttag
     Set this to `t' if the SGML declaration has `SHORTTAG YES' and to
     `nil' otherwise.

 - User Option: sgml-always-quote-attributes
     If non-nil, quote all attribute values inserted after finishing
     edit attributes.  If this variable is `nil' and `sgml-shorttag' is
     non-`nil', attribute values that consists of only name characters
     will not be quoted.

 - User Option: sgml-minimize-attributes
     Determines minimization of attributes inserted by edit-attributes.
     If non-nil, omit attribute name if the attribute value is from a
     token group.  If `max', omit attributes with default value.
     Minimization will only be done if they produce legal SGML (assuming
     `sgml-omittag' and `sgml-shorttag' are set correctly).
