Typing <tt> xxx </tt> around everything that needs it is a bore. The
shortened form <tt/xxx/ is helpful, but no use if `xxx' includes a `/'
character. Probably half the things I want to appear in fixed-width
font are pathnames ...
I preprocess my HOWTOs with this perl one-logical-liner, which allows
me to write
<tt,/usr/doc/howto/,
and have it transformed to
<tt>/usr/doc/howto</tt>
In fact, it works for any other tag as well. If you have a pressing
need to typeset lots of italic forward slashes, it will cope with
<em,////////, no problem. A semi-reasonable example of this is
<tt,/usr/lib/gcc-lib/,<em,target,<tt,/,<em/version/<tt,/,
perl -e \
'undef $/; $_=<STDIN>;s@<([a-z]+),([^,]+),@<$1>$2</$1>@gs; print' \
<foo-howto.sgmlp >foo-howto.sgml
(actually, I have a Makefile which deals with all my sgml processing.
Don't forget to double the $ signs if you do likewise)
