MD*Book online & e-stat: Generating e-stat Modules from LATEX

  • Conference paper
Compstat

Abstract

We describe the basics of MD*Book and MD*Book online which we use together with XploRe to create interactive electronic books. We generate different output formats (Postscript, PDF, HTML and MM*Stat-like formats) for the internet as well as for CD and/or local installation.

The e-stat project for creating a knowledge base in statistics needs statistical input from various authors to cover a larger area in statistics. The teaching material, which we want to incorporate in the e-stat project, is already available in LATEX and we have used MD*Book to convert it from LATEX to HTML. Interactivity in our electronical books is incorporated via a applet which connects to XploRe - a statistical software.

Thus we extended our tool MD*Book, and therefore also MD*Book online, such that we can generate the XML file (and further files) which are the base for an e-stat module.

We first describe MD*Book and MD*Book online. Finally we describe the conversion process and show an reused example from MM*Stat as e-stat module.
