TeX and SGML: A Recipe for Disaster?
نویسنده
چکیده
The relationshp between T$ and SGML (Standard Generalised Markup Language, IS0 8879) has often been uneasy, with adherents to one system or the other displaying symptoms remininscent of the religious wars popular between devotees of T$ and of word-processors. SGML and T$ can in fact coexist successfully, provided features of one system are not expected of the other. T h s paper presents a pilot program to test one method of acheving such a cohabitation.

متن کاملFrom SGML to HTML with help from TEX
At this time there is still no fast and standard way of presenting mathematics in HTML pages. Various ideas have been tested and the W3C has just released a draft math markup proposal. When combined with freely available fonts containing the required mathematical characters, we can see much potential for the future. For now it seems that there is only one common denominator suitable for quickly...
