\title{HTML Marked Up with GELLMU}
\h1c{Is \em{This} an HTML Document?}

\p Although this looks, more or less, like a \latex document,
it is really a document written in the HTML language using
\latex-like syntax.
\p
This document may be easily converted to a normal HTML document
using the \em{basic} mode of the GELLMU syntactic translator,
which is an Emacs Lisp program available on the web through
\center{\ua{http://www.albany.edu/~hammond/gellmu/} .}
\p
GELLMU stands for ``Generalized Extensible \latex-Like Markup''.
Its primary purpose is to serve as a bridge for authors from
\latex to the world of XML.
\p
Thus, this usage of GELLMU is basically recreational compared to
its more serious purpose: using \latex-like markup to write
for a much richer XML document type than HTML.  Actually, this
document is written for ``old'' HTML, which is an SGML application
that does not come under XML.  But there is a canonical way to
translate ``old'' HTML to the XML version of HTML.
\p
For more information on writing HTML this way see the short article

GELLMU to Write HTML}}.
