DSSSL


Short for Document Style Semantics and Specification Language, DSSSL is an ISO standard that provides standardized syntax and standardized semantics to specify style and layout for SGML documents. Using DSSSL enables a publisher to specify the style for an element or attribute, interchange that style specification, and reproduce that style within certain limitations. The Document Style Semantics and Specification Language (DSSSL), became international standard in April 1996.
