A hyperpaper with molecular display

This shows Chemical Markup Language - a DTD of SGML. A complete chemical paper has been marked up and rendered with costwish. This is the last of three screenshots (comments follow the image).

This shows how costwish and associated *.tcl scripts for the DTD can transform numeric data and render it.

(Top right). The active numeric array ('Eigenvalues') is recognised (from the attributes) as being numeric and buttons for rendering it as a Graph or Histogram (shown) are provided automatically. (Not shown: the numeric units have been automatically converted to SI units).

(Below right). A table ('Summary of ...') has been rendered as a clickable table ('spreadsheet'). Note that the blue buttons ('syn_OH_blyp', etc) are active hyperlinks to the molecular data.

All display is generic (it uses the BLT tools) and could be adapted easily to other DTDs which reference numeric data.
