I liked this quote: “In 1989, he declined joining the Mosaic browser team with his preference for knowledge/wisdom creation over distributing information ... a problem he
says is still not solved by today's internet.” I remember seeing Mosaic and HTML and thinking exactly the same thing back then. So much wasted energy making pretty pages… Marcus From: Friam [mailto:[hidden email]]

Actually, I was impressed that hypertext BBS browsers exited back then - I don't remember anything of the sort from the '80s, but then I really didn't inhabit the BBS scene. It was all ftp and archie (the '80s equivalent of google) and usenet (the '80s equivalent of facebook) then. The first thing that 'might' be called a web browser would be gopher, but even that was more or less contemporaneous with the first http servers. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prof Russell Standish Phone 0425 253119 (mobile) Principal, High Performance Coders Visiting Professor of Mathematics [hidden email] University of New South Wales http://www.hpcoders.com.au ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com |
Here is the first HTML page I ever created in 1992(?). http://www.Phil.CMU.edu/~wimberly/ View source. It may also be the last. I changed the photo and added to the publications list. I added the applet in about 1996. I am surprised it still renders. Frank Sent from my Verizon 4G LTE Phone On Oct 13, 2015 6:21 PM, "Russell Standish" <[hidden email]> wrote:

Awesome Frank!
Mine was a PERL script that served up Gopher File Trees as HTML via HTTP when the only graphical browser was on the NeXT. You should have heard the screams when after a couple of years, we quit serving up the old Gopher trees, there was no new content there to speak of, but there were folks who insisted we should stick to a strict list-hierarchy format with no formatting and no graphics.

Interesting. Obviously you didn't use latex2html for this. Did you use
latexml? I've used latexml as part of a kindle conversion process that goes via epub.

If you like LaTeX (I can't imagine), you shouldn't stand for converting to HTML!

Interesting, but why not build the site in PDF (possibly with alternative versions for desktops and mobiles)? Also, it didn’t work for me:

I was thinking use a lower-level interface to the screen bitmap in the browser such that it would render directly.
In other words, don’t convert, make LaTeX a first-class MIME Content-Type. This was a nice design. A statically typed version would have
been even better. XSL was the right idea, but a strange execution. Should have just used a functional programming language, like
this. Building a good set of multi-target (page) flow objects is an enormous job, like making a PDF implementation or a XML/HTML browser engine. One could always wrap LaTeX in a statically typed language to make it better behaved, e.g.
HaTeX. Which is about how I feel about LaTeX.

FYI, Jonathan Kew, the author of XeTeX, wrote an iPhone version of TeX (or probably XeTeX). When you turned the phone on its side, it ran TeX again with the new margins. I don’t think the app was ever released, but it is as close as I’ve heard about to a tex MIME viewer. He did the work for http://rivervalleytechnologies.com. —Barry On 20 Oct 2015, at 10:32, Marcus Daniels wrote:

Perhaps in about 5 years when Moore's law has had a chance to catch up. Also, crucially, you need hyperlinks to work, which they don't in any of the PDF viewers I've used.
