The Wolfram Solution for Authoring and Publishing
Enter a new world where every document is instantly interactive and every concept comes with an application—combining literate programming and interactive publishing on web, desktop and mobile in one unified system powered by the Wolfram Language.
Wolfram Notebooks put easy-to-author interactivity at their core, empowering readers to drive content and generate results live. Notebooks are computation-powered knowledge containers for any type of information, including dynamic content, typeset inputs and outputs, 2D and 3D graphics, calculations, text and programs.
The Wolfram Edge
Wolfram technologies include thousands of built-in functions and curated data on many topics that let you:
- Deliver consulting solutions to your clients as applications or interactive documents
- Generate interactive reports or slide shows that allow your colleagues, clients or manager to explore and answer "what-if" scenarios instantly
- Illustrate and publish electronic and print textbooks
- Publish research papers with interactive content alongside traditional text, mathematical expressions, plots and diagrams
- Develop and deploy print, web and mobile app content simultaneously
- Typeset equations for US patents, journal articles or textbooks
- Develop and publish interactive courseware and tests
- Generate customized quotes or other structured documents on the fly to instantly provide quotes to customers or answer user queries
How Wolfram Compares
Does your current tool set have these advantages?
- Generating dynamic reports and presentations containing interactive applications
Microsoft PowerPoint does not include interactive applications
- Standard word processing, live mathematical expressions and interactive applications contained in a single document
Programs like Microsoft Word, Scientific Word and LaTeX do not include live expressions or instant interactivity
- Generation and insertion of 2D and 3D graphics anywhere in your document, including tables, lists, expressions or other graphics
Pure typesetting programs such as LaTeX require you to generate and import graphics from a different system
- Automatic conversion of formulas written in presentation MathML or semantic MathML into interactive, evaluatable, typeset expressions
Maple can only evaluate formulas written in semantic MathML
- Comprehensive computing power combined with fully interactive, platform-independent documents
Equation editors such as MathType are not platform independent
- A single stylesheet allows your document to have a different appearance for each purpose—for example, screen display, presentation or slide show
Key Capabilities
Wolfram Notebooks offer content creators easy-to-author interactivity and convenient deployment options. The Wolfram Language includes thousands of built-in functions for computation, modeling, visualization, development and deployment.
Authoring and publishing specific capabilities:
- Transform any element into interactive content
- Easily generate complete reports with top-quality styled text, graphics, tables, typeset math, animations and interactive elements »
- A single stylesheet renders documents in appropriate format for online, print or screen display so you can quickly repurpose your content
- Automatic interface construction allows quick addition of live interactivity to your documents and presentations
- Use interactive content in embedded objects, complete webpages or standalone applications and documents using Wolfram Player
- Support for MathML, XML and XHTML standards for easy inclusion of mathematical expressions in webpages and XML documents »
- Input mathematical expressions with keyboard shortcuts or built-in or custom palettes
- Semantic-faithful typesetting allows expressions to be entered in typeset form, edited and then evaluated directly »
- The Wolfram Demonstrations Project, a vibrant technical publishing community, contains an extensive collection of interactive examples with full source code »
- All elements of a project—calculations, visualizations, data, code, documentation and even interactive applications—stay together in one document
- Trillions of pieces of expert-level data and the world's largest collection of algorithms allow authors in a wide range of fields to instantly create subject-specific content without additional tools
- Create once and instantly transform a document into a textbook, presentation, report, infographic or application, then deploy to a variety of platforms
- Full markup, cascading stylesheets and immediate global restyling for dynamic and static content
