"Publicon": Wolfram's new software for preparing documents
Publicon, the new software from Wolfram Research (who gave the
world - Mathematica software introduced in our postings a few
days back. www.wolfram.com) for composing technical documents,
incorporates intuitive maths typesetting technology with additional
templates for putting chemical equations, special characters and
symbols to prepare publication quality documents quickly and easily.
Well ... aren't there a number of such softwares available like
Latex, Tex etc which are widely used by Physics and Mathematics
community? So, what is new?
The best thing we like about Publicon is that the mathematical
equations from documents prepared in Publicon can be copied
and pasted for computation in Mathematica notebook or any other
interface. This dynamic interaction of Mathematica with a
'beautifully' presentable form of the text seemed to be the nicest
feature to hardcore users of Mathematica like us.
Publicon offers a good quality and very user-friendly graphical
user interface and produces platform-independent files that can
be exported to HTML, XML, and yes ...LaTex or custom formats
of Publicon itself.
We get the feeling that Publicon will quickly become a choice for
document preparation by people from a wide variety of fields -
Math, Physics, Engineering, Chemistry and Biotechnology.
