I am trying to build an electronic book for maths using squeak. I have developed an interface to use maxima ( http://maxima.sourceforge.net/ ) and show the results formatted in squeak, and developed some exercising tools. But now I am having problems trying to insert text inside Squeak. The text is being written by a maths expert friend, and he is using latex for that. Latex output can be html, rtf, pdf, ps, etc. But no one of those formats can be seen correctly in Squeak. The easiest way seemed to be html, so I tried it using scamper or using openoffice and the openoffice importer in squeak, but I always get the same problem: vertical alignment. I haven't been able to find any way to align correctly the mathematical formulas between the text. So , any ideas? is there a ps or pdf working renderer for squeak? Does anybody have any idea about who to edit formulas inside squeak?. It could be really important in education if we could make electronic books using the interactivity, simulation and multimedia capabilities of squeak with scientific texts. If anybody thinks this is a question for the squeak-dev mailing list, feel free to forward it or tell it to me and I will do it.
Regards.
