The Proceedings has been constructed of as many different elements
as were immediately available. This includes the full spectrum of
multi--media as well as some elements of local design:
Text is available as
- ASCII (or plain) text
- TeX and LaTeX (pre--LaTeX2) formatted text
- DVI
- PostScript
- HTML
- scanned images in GIF format
Images are available in-line or separately as
- GIF
- JPEG
- PostScript
- PicTeX
- X bitmap
Animations are supported either as series of ordered GIF images
or as MPEG/QuickTime format movies.
In addition, interfaces have been developed for
- Maple
- Mathematica
- Gap
- document retreival
- document submission
- document annotation
- text search (Glimpse)
Most of these elements have been chosen, modified or organized for
optimal use in HTML documents on the World Wide Web. This in itself
both limits and defines how the elements can be used. As will be
illustrated, this has posed a considerable challenge to the project
developers faced with meeting the expectations of creative authors --
without unlimited resources.
