       Originally written by Greg Hankins <greg.hankins@cc.gatech.edu>, based  on  scripts  by  Tom  Gordon  and
       Alexander  Horz,  and  later rewritten by Cees de Groot <cg@cdegroot.com> for SGML-Tools (v1).  Currently
       maintained by Taketoshi Sano <sano@debian.org> for Linuxdoc-Tools.

sgml2txt is an old and obsoleted form of the text converter command of LinuxDoc-Tools.  It is recommended
       to  switch  the  new  form  linuxdoc-Btext now.  It converts a LinuxDoc DTD SGML source file to ASCII,
       ISO-8859-1, or EUC-JP output. Output will appear in file.txt where file is the name of  the  SGML  source
       file.

       The attribute/value pair "output=txt" is set for conditionals.

       Many files and executables in /usr/share/linuxdoc-tools are used.
