$ you should use $\setminus$\texttt{lt} and $\setminus$\texttt{gt}, respectively. For mathematics in display mode, use {\tt $\setminus$[\dots $\setminus$]} \bigskip Other \LaTeX-commands to be used outside the mathematics environment are \begin{tabular}{l|l} name& display\\ \hline $\setminus$section\{title\} & {\large\bf 1 Title}\\ $\setminus$subsection\{title\} & {\bf 1.1 Title}\\ $\setminus$dots & ...\\ $\{\setminus$it word $\}$& {\it word}\\ $\{\setminus$em word $\}$& {\em word}\\ $\{\setminus$bf word $\}$& {\bf word}\\ $\{\setminus$tt word $\}$& {\tt word}\\ $\{\setminus$sf word $\}$& {\sf word}\\ $\setminus$LaTeX & \LaTeX\\ $\setminus$bigskip &\\ $\setminus$medskip &\\ $\setminus$includegraphics\{galois\}&\includegraphics{galois}\\ \end{tabular} \bigskip This list can be extended. However, do {\bf NOT} use your own macros! \bigskip To make references to other files, you can use the {\tt $\setminus$href\{filename\}\{text\}} or {\tt $\setminus$href\{filename\#label\}\{text\}} command. For example, a reference to the \href{exam.pdf#ex1}{exam} example file, label ex1. \bigskip Internal references can be done using the {\tt$\setminus$ref\{labelname\}} command. \bigskip In het header of the file, you should also provide metadata. This metadata should be started with $\setminus$begin\{metadata\} and be closed with $\setminus$end\{metadata\}. The value of each metadata-filed can be set using the $\setminus$md comand. For example $\setminus$md\{author\}\{Peter Pan\} sets the value of the metadata-field `author' to Peter Pan. \bigskip The style is kept this simple, to make a translation to an {\sf XML}-format easy. This {\sf XML}-format is then used to display the material on the web. \bigskip In the following section you find an eample containing some mathematics. \section{Algebra} \begin{df}\label{field-def} Let $p$ be a prime and $f$ an irreducible polynomial in $\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}[X]$. Then the quotient ring $\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}[X]/(f)$ is a finite field. Such a field is called a \emph{Galois field}. \end{df} One of the main theorems in the theory of fields is the following. \begin{thm}[Classification of finite field] Every finite field $\mathbb{F}$ is isomorphic to a Galois field. \end{thm} \begin{exa} Suppose $\mathbb{F}$ is a field with $4$ elements, then $\mathbb{F}$ is isomorphic to \[ \mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}[X](X^2+X+1). \] \end{exa} \begin{figure} \includegraphics{galois} \caption{Galois} \end{figure} \begin{rmk} Galois was a famous mathematician working in algebra. The fields introduced in {Definition \ref{field-def}} are named after him, to honor him for his contributions to this area of Algebra. \end{rmk} \section{Test your pages} Once your theory pages run without errors in \LaTeX\, you can test whether they translate properly to valid {\sf XML}. For this you should upload your file into the {\em translation service} available at \href{http://www.mathdox.org}{{\tt http://www.mathdox.org}}. For questions, please contact Jan Willem Knopper \href{mailto:jwk@mathdox.org}{{\tt jwk@mathdox.org}} or Hans Cuypers \href{mailto:hansc@win.tue.nl}{{\tt hansc@win.tue.nl}}. \end{document} ]]>
