Excerpt from sgmltools-2 man page :


       sgmltools  is the central driver of SGMLtools. You can use
       it to convert SGML input  files  to  various  formats,  as
       indicated by the --backend switch.

   OPTIONS
       -b, --backend
              Select  the  backend  to  use. Currently, there are
              five different backends to choose from.  ps expects
              a  DocBook  SGML  file  and  will  convert  it into
              PostScript.  dvi expects a DocBook  SGML  file  and
              will  convert  it  into DVI.  rtf expects a DocBook
              SGML file and  will  convert  it  into  RTF.   html
              expects  a  DocBook  SGML  file and will convert it
              into HTML; the resulting files will  be  put  in  a
              subdirectory (default).  txt expects a DocBook SGML
              file and will convert it into ASCII.  ld2db expects
              a  LinuxDoc-SGML file and will convert it into Doc-
              Book SGML.  jadetex expects a DocBook SGML file and
              will  convert  it into JadeTeX input. Only use this
              if you know what you're doing.


BUT -- best of luck!
(Don't expect miracles.  Think about what it is you're doing.)
