Nice to see that such a thing exists... I was thinking of doing something similar by myself... nevertheless the installer of mathml seems to be a bit lame and I am a bit worried about the portability of the final file. Sometimes, as you know, you are asked to not plug in your laptop, so that speakers do not waste time trying to configure X and in those cases they ask you for a pdf (or even ppt, buerk!) file which they will copy over to the conference laptop...
Otherwise it seems indeed a very nice idea. 2008/3/19, Matthew Szudzik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Question: Do you have any recommendation / suggestion to prepare talks > > to be shown in a projector including mathematical equations, plots > > and, eventually, movies (I can live without this last point)? > > > HTML is probably the most portable solution for your problem, and movies > would work fine too (using VLC's Mozilla plug-in).
