MathBook XML is the "XML application" I am designing. It is a collection of XML "tags" meant to be usable for an author: chapter, section, theorem, example, exercise, etc. I have written converters to LaTeX (for PDF, print) and to HTML. Other conversions are possible and planned. It's main purpose is for authors creating new content. Tom's book was authored in the late 1980's in LaTeX and published around 1992 by PWS-Kent. Last May, we spent a week using sed and other tools/tricks to convert his well-formed LaTeX to MathBook XML. Hand-editing has fine-tuned that conversion and also driven the development of MathBook XML. The resulting sed script is in the git repo for the book (on GitHub, see website) as is the original LaTeX if you go back in the history. But the conversion is not generally useful, it was one-off quick-and-dirty. David Farmer, of the American Institute of Mathematics, has made a lot of progress converting LaTeX to the same HTML as seen here, and that work should expand to include MathBook XML as an output. I hope this helps - the jumble of acronyms gets to be a mess sometimes. Rob -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-edu" group.
