eLML (eLesson Markup Language)

I am happy to announce a new eLML 8 version today! The big new thing is that eLML offers now a mobile view of your lesson based on jQuery Mobile. Using the already existing eBook converter (based on ePub) and the new mobile view, you can now serve ... [More] your clients with lessons optimized for both tablets like iPads and also Smartphones like iPhones or Android devices! To see the mobile version in action point your iPhone or Android phone to http://www.elml.org/website/en/ and you are automatically redirected to the mobile view! You can also use the mobile view link in the footer of the eLML website with any desktop browser. Whats new in the eLML 8 release? 1.The Mobile View (based on jQuery Mobile): http://www.elml.org/website/en/html/output_mobile.html 2. New versions of firedocs and EasyELML available! http://www.elml.org/website/en/html/unit_tools.html (see comment below) 3. Many bugfixes, improvements and updates. Too much to list them all here :-) Comments about eLML tools: - EasyELML: The author Michael Ziege has released a new version a month ago and it should run stable on Windows and Mac OSX now. - The latest firedocs 1.8 version runs on any Firefox above version 4. Be aware that on Firefox 10 (due to a caching problem) the eLML editor firedocs crashes at first. What you have to do is following: 1. Enter "about:config" in your address bar and continue after the warning. 2. In the configuration parameter list do a right click and choose "New... Boolean" to create a new parameter. 3. Now enter "nglayout.debug.disable_xul_cache" as parameter name and set it to "true". After that restart Firefox and it should work again. Sorry about that complicated bugfix... - Template Builder: Thomas Linowsky, the author of the Template Builder, has told me that he is working on a totally new release and will have a prototype running soon. He'll certainly announce the beta release via the eLML-Users list. - Lenya CMS AddOn development has been terminated because the Lenya CMS project is not active anymore :-( So much from me. After nearly 10 years this will be my last mail as eLML project leader (see my last posting). From now on Immo Wille and Alberto Sanz are running the show here at the University of Zurich :-) [Less]
