Abstract

For the MAA Session on Publishing Mathematics on the Web
JMM Abstract No. 1056-N5-712
Submitted September 16, 2009

For optimal interoperability and reusability today along with durability into the future it is desirable for documents to be written in a structured author-level markup language. The didactic production system of the GELLMU project offers a fully working example.

Slides

The slides used for my talk are in the modern form of HTML extended by MathML (and W3C's “Slidy”), which I find to be a more satisfactory slide presentation format than PDF slides.
