I'm giving a short (15 min) talk at the annual US mathematics meetings
in San Francisco next week, about converting textbooks into Sage
worksheets. It's more a preview of what is possible, rather than
final report.
Here's links to the slides and a demo Sage worksheet that is suppose
to look like

Sage documentation is written in a markup language called ReST
(ReStructured Text), so look at any source file for Sage to see
examples.
Sphinx will turn it into html, pdf, etc. It is a converter.
Or something close to that.

I have no idea what Sphinx is...

I have notes for Calc I and Calc II (mostly following Stewart's "Calculus").
Here are two random examples:

7. There has been discussion about writing in ReST and using Sphinx
to produce worksheets. This converts the TeX to images (which don't
scale nicely, etc), but this is another process to consider.
Sphinx can also use jsmath to format tex. I think we use images by

Hi Dana,
Yes, "converting textbooks into notebooks" is exactly right. I'm able
to do this right now on a small-scale using a custom script, but it
takes some fiddling. So if you want to help blaze the trail, here are
some ideas. Also, I am hand-crafting a prototype of sorts for a talk

Dear Jonathan,
I just talked with Bob Hanson (of the St. Olaf Chemistry department)
about setting the defaultdirectory. He pointed out that the .jmol
file you use to set the defaultdirectory is now unnecessary because it
is possible to set the defaultdirectory as a parameter to the Jmol.js
script
