Hi,
On the subject of notebook features:
One feature that would be really nice is to have distinct text cells,
in html or
even better latex mode. A text cell could created by a hot key (say
<cntrl-t>)
in edit mode which displays the source latex or html, then toggled out
of edit
mode to display the formatted text. This could be nicer for
preparing
worksheets for teaching which combine latex formatted exercises with
sage
cells for code, rather than using
# Exercise 1. Let p = 75361. Evaluate x^(p-1) mod p for x = 2, 5, 7,
and 11.
# What do you observe? Is p a prime?
Create text cell in edit mode:
%latex
{\bf Exercise 1.} Let $p = 75361$. Evaluate $x^{p-1} \bmod p$ for $x
= 2, 3,
5, 7$ and $11$ with the commands
\begin{verbatim}
p = 75361
for x in (2,3,5,7,11):
powermod(x,p-1,p)
\end{verbatim}
What do you observe? Is $p$ a prime?
<toggle edit mode>
This would look much more professional than just using comments as in
the first
example.
Even better, I could imagine exporting the worksheet as a latex file
and conversely
reading a marked up latex file as a workshop.
Is this feasible?
