Both the start- and end-tags are required for this element.
An SGMLTag identifies an SGML markup construct. The utility of this element is almost wholly constrained to books about SGML.
SGMLTag is sufficient for most XML constructs, which are identical to the corresponding SGML constructs, it but does not have any provisions for handling the special features of XML markup. A future version of DocBook will address this issue, probably by adding new Class values. In the meantime, you may get by by assigning a Role attribute for XML.
