> Has the whole math effort died? I seem to remember that we were promised > results, and at least an idea of a timetable by 1st july. > Hello, I just wanted to point out a Netscape Navigator Plug-in from IBM that may be of interest regarding the electronic distribution of technical documents. techexplorer http://www.ics.raleigh.ibm.com/ics/techexp.htm This plug-in allows for TeX (as well as some extensions) to be seamlessly embedded in an HTML document. The current aim is to allow for a so called "intelligent math object" that could be dragged and dropped into a consenting math application (spread sheets, symbolic or numeric computation engines, and so on). This transfer of a mathematical expression implies that the exact semantics of such expressions must be preserved. Currently the OpenMath effort is hopping to fill such a void.
