Topic: MuLTiFlow: An HTML5 and ePub editor for Scientific community Description: MuLTiFlow, an HTML5 and ePub editor for Scientific community will be introduced. This XUL application can be used both as astandalone and as a Firefox addon. The editor can handle Math (MathML) and Graphics (SVG) markup and also has a input mechanism for UTN28 (modern version of TeX). The editor has a locale switch for 11 languages. The code can be downloaded from the following SourceForge URL: https://sourceforge.net/projects/multiflow/ It is under GPL v3 license. In addition, some advanced Semantic capabilities for this editor are being worked on at present. This editor is easily extensible with some minimal knowledge of Javascript and XUL. Some of these capabilities will be demonstrated in the ILUGC meeting.
