This year's hard-copy version of the
UW Nuclear Physics Lab's 1996 Annual Report
was originally generated by Microsoft Word for Windows v6.0c.
All but two figures were dealt with as embedded Postscript images.
HTML (for Web-page scripting) does not currently provide sufficient Math and
Symbol formatting abilites to allow direct generation of Web pages from Word.
In fact, if you ask Word to save the document in HTML markup, embedded
Equations and Symbols simply disappear from the resulting file.
This is far worse than telling Word to "save as text"... at least that
generates "{Embed Equation}" where Word could not provide the symbols.
This WWW version was created by having Word generate both HTML pages and
individual Postscript page images. The Postscript pages were then converted
to GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) files by GhostScript.
The HTML files were massaged to produce super- and sub-scripts, and to
include small GIF images of Greek characters (such as
s and
s)
and other symbols.
These look best if viewed with 12 or 14-point
fonts for the body of the text.
The whole-page GIF images were then "mined" with xv
to extract the images of figures and equations.
Some of the in-text-line insertions may appear to wander vertically,
this is an unavoidable consequence of the small-gif images.
If this: x2 :appears as x-with-a-superscripted-2, then your browser
should be able to properly present our HTML pages.
If you see x2 (x followed by the numeral 2),
you may wish to download an HTML-3 compliant browser.
Netscape 2.0 handles the <SUP> and <SUB> properly, but
it doesn't properly display underscores.
A few pages (such as this one) were simply typed in by hand.
Here's the almost obligatory [download Netscape] link.
And here's the link to [Microsoft's Internet Explorer]. V3 understands HTML 3.
This document is also available as ftp'able PostScript files upon request.
