+ \sTeX is a collection of {\LaTeX} packages that allow to markup documents semantically
+ without leaving the document format.
+
+ Running `pdflatex` over sTeX-annotated documents formats them into normal-looking
+ PDF. But sTeX also comes with a conversion pipeline into semantically annotated HTML5,
+ which can host semantic added-value services that make the documents active
+ (i.e. interactive and user-adaptive) and essentially turning {\LaTeX} into a document
+ format for (mathematical) knowledge management (MKM).
\sTeX augments {\LaTeX} with
\begin{itemize}
- \item \emph{Semantic macros} that denote and distinguish between mathematical concepts, operators, etc. independent of their notational presentation,
- \item A powerful \emph{module system} that allows for authoring and importing individual fragments containing document text and/or semantic macros, independent of -- and without hard coding -- directory paths relative to the current document,
- \item A mechanism for exporting \sTeX documents to (modular) XHTML, preserving all the semantic information for semantically informed knowledge management services.
