It has built-in SGML and XML support. I personally was rather disappointed with it, but then I've been spoilt using Arbortext's Adept and Epic tools. I use ntSGML at home as well as the Linux version of those tools. I have set up DocBook based documentation systems using WordPerfect 9 for authoring, and a combination of Jade and Omnimark for publishing. The Word users took to the tools without any problems after a 1/2-day training session. If your client's budget can stretch a bit, they should use Epic or Adept. No other payware comes close.
