===================================================
Refer to Appendix A in the FM+SGML Developer's Guide (an on-line manual).
This appendix describes how to use structure rules tables to convert
unstructured docs to structured ones. There are several provisos, however:

1. You won't get very good results unless the unstructured document is very
consistently tagged.

2. You must have a very clear vision of the structure you're trying to produce.

3. If you're using an existing DTD/EDD, it's not too likely that the
structure you can produce with structure rules tables will agree with the
DTD/EDD's required structure. Aver conversion by the structure rules, you'll
probably have to do considerable cleanup work to make it conform to the EDD.
