As a scientific institute, a large fraction of the thousands of physicists and engineers working at CERN use LaTeX for publishing their papers or for writing their documentation. Therefore during the last four or five years I have been concentrating on developing tools related to TeX, especially, LaTeX . More in particular I was responsible for the coordination of the generation of all IT-API Group documents in various forms, in particular PostScript and HTML . Thus, I am working at present on prototype implementations to investigate how XML tools can be optimally integrated in the framework of handling electronic information efficiently, especially for scientific documents. Short reviews of these developments and their relevance to HEP are available in the CNL articles below.
Recent developments are available in the following files.
XML 2000 . XML, a new start for the Web . De XML PDF via xmltex, XSLT et PassiveTeX . Publishing on the Web, today and tomorrow . XML'99 and MT'99 .
