Markup Program
Markup program is a desktop Application (macro in Microsoft Office Word), to identify bibliographic elements in documents, according to SciELO DTD for article and for text, based on standard ISO 8879-1986 (SGML - Standard Generalized Markup Language) and ISO 12083-1994 (Electronic Manuscript Preparation and Markup). Nowadays there is a new SciELO DTD: doc. It is simpler than article and text because there are less levels, but by the other hand, there are more elements to identify. It must be used to identify the elements to generate XML according to SPS.
