AAcademic Papers in HTML

          If you prepare your paper in HTML, you do not need to carry your laptops or projectors. In the future many conference rooms, even classrooms will be equipped with PCs with Internet access. In anticipation of this, this section provides some solutions to common problems of presenting academic papers in HTML text. 1. Where is the "tab" button?

          There is no tab button yet in the HTML text. Experts are working on it; they have to develop some sort of standards. In the mean time, create a macro to alternate a nonbreaking space and a regular space, as many times as you wish. Five sets were used to create a tab in this page. That is, every time you want a tab, use a macro to produce:

                    (note the space in between).

2. How do you indent a whole paragraph?

This paragraph is indented twice. Insert any stuff in the middle of <DIR> </DIR>. To indent more, use <DIR> as many times as you wish, followed by an equal number of </DIR>.)

3. Where are Greek letters?

          Among the Greek letters, only µ is available now, but more will come later.

4. Without m-dash—which looks like a long hyphen surrounding this phrase—how can you produce a sophisticated document?

          Use them instead of --. Temporarily, it is a u grave.

5. How does one create superscripts and subscripts?

          Insert anything in the middle of <SUP> </SUP> to get superscripts, and similarly in the center of <SUB> </SUB> to get subscripts.

For instance, you can express national income as:

          (1) Y = p1y1 + p2y2.

and, expected value as

          (2) EX = a1X1 + a2X2 + a3X3.

6. How does one print Greek letters?

To print Greek letters, you need to change the font face. That is, insert any alphabet between the symbol tags,
<FONT FACE=SYMBOL></FONT>. The following table shows how various Latin characters and keys are converted into Greek letters and mathematical symbols.

Lowercase Latin Characters a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z
Symbols a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z
Capital Letters A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Symbols A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Other Characters ` 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 - = \ [ ] ; ' , . /
Symbols ` 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 - = \ [ ] ; ' , . /
Other Characters (Shift key) ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + | { } : " < > ?
Symbols ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + | { } : " < > ?

Some examples

1. `L and `K. (Netscape displays the bars correctly, whereas Internet Explorer does not line up the bars and letters correctly. For instance, they would look like: ` L

and ` K.)

2. For all, "

3. Therefore, \

4. Approximately, @

5. such that, '

6. There exists, $

7. M-dash, —

or use to __ (two underlines) as superscripts, __

8. Powers. x2 + 6x + 9 = (x + 3)(x + 3) = (x + 3)2. In addition, you can also utilize the following:
