MathBook XML is very flexible about "chunking" - so you can decide whether a section is a whole web page, or if a subsection is a webpage, or ... So you have some control about how many cells are enclosed as a unit. (And you should make this decision early while writing Sage cells!) There is also the inverse problem of defining some complicated object in a Sage Cell on some previous page and wanting to reuse it. This is solved partially by being able to use a cross-reference from the second page back to the cell on the previous page. The code still needs to re-run, but the author does not need to create and maintain the second version. IMHO we should think about moving non-technical Sage docs to mathbook. > Of course, I'd stand ready to help with technical advice and additions to MathBook XML to support this. The underlying HTML is meant to be very semantic/structural/skinnable (without being too impractical), so ideally it would be possible to retain all the navigation, but also give a Sage-blue look and branding. An example with lots of Sage, which has a feel similar to the thematic tutorials, is at: http://linear.ups.edu/eagts/ With Sage 6.7, nineteen (out of 417) doctests are failing since the last update was Sage 5.12, so it needs just a bit of clean-up. Mostly deprecations, and rearrangments of output format. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-edu" group.
