Hi. > I'm happy to announce that here's an open access physics reviews > ejournal (living Reviews in Relativity) with mathematics fully expressed > in MathML. > I think it is the first of this kind. > The tool used in the conversion, Hermes, is licensed under GNU GPL. > I kindly invite you to browse the entire collection of converted > articles here (where those interested may also find more details about > the context): > http://www.aei.mpg.de/hermes/livrev/ Congratulations! This is a major milestone. The collection looks fine on my machine, using both IE+MathPlayer and Firefox, and the pages weren't particularly slow. Just for fun, I had MathPlayer speak a couple of the longer expressions. Clearly we need to teach MathPlayer some physics, but the fact that I can listen to a current research article full of math being read aloud by my browser is amazing. A decade ago, when the MathML effort first began, this was a "science fiction" dream that seemed nearly impossibly far off. It's a shame about the poor MathML support on the Mac. I wish there we could get some traction there. --Robert ------------------------------------------------------------------ Dr. Robert Miner RobertM@dessci.com Director of New Product Development 651-223-2883 Design Science, Inc.
