ABSTRACT

Markup practices can affect the move toward systems that support scholars in the process of thinking and writing. Whereas procedural and presentational markup systems retard that movement, descriptive markup systems accelerate the pace by simplifying mechanical tasks and allowing the authors to focus their attention on the content.

REVIEW

"Christopher L. Hallgren : Reviewer"

This paper considers the academic text in relation to text processing. In some ways, the view of the authors strikes a pose promised in the myth of truly portable generalized markup languages that loomed on the horizon in the 1960s. They repeat more...
