It's quite unlikely he intended SGML. It's completely possible he
intended HTML, however.
Note that XHTML is a subset of XML, but HTML is not. (HTML for example
allows unclosed tags, which are strictly prohibited by XML.)
The intersection of the set of valid XML and HTML fragments has no
official title that I'm aware of, and the smallest superset of that
which does have a name is SGML. Hence, SGML is the least-general named
set. QED.

And people think I'm strange because I write computer programs in a
high-order pure-functional programming language with non-strict
evaluation semantics and a post-Milner-Hindley type system... ;-)

For chinese, you can basically type in the english spelling of the
character, to a vague approximation.
I wouldn't be surprised if there was some sort of demo on youtube.

I'm using whatever input method Ubuntu provides. For Windows, Google also
provides a pin yin input method. It works on message boards on the internet,
google searches, and office documents. Although in the attached screenshot, you
can see the browser interpreting some of the characters correctly.
