- Course objectives
- Basic principles, algorithms and techniques used in electronic publishing are taught. Point of view is narrowed with respect to the creation of sizable, structured, technical documents like theses or dissertation, and presentations -- it is ideal to enroll before writing first thesis (in TeX). Web publishing is also covered.
- Learning outcomes
- At the end of the course students should be able to apply basic principles, algorithms and technologies of (team) document preparation and production, namely as an author of technical documents (thesis, course presentation materials, program documentation, web presentation or for quality database publication). Students will use typesetting system TeX suite of programs.
Students will be able to pick up and work with appropriate tools and software packages used in the electronic documents' development cycle and preparation of above specified document types. - Syllabus

- Teaching methods
- Two hour `lecture' per week will consist of a) classical talk about electronic document preparation and b) demosession as preparation for exercises. One hour practical exercises are aimed at practical work with software in the area of desktop publishing (mostly open source, XML and TeX-related).
