      <title>CDF a re-branding of Mathematica Player?</title>
      <link>http://www.mapleprimes.com/posts/129322-Computable-Document-Format--Wasnt-Maple-First?ref=Feed:MaplePrimes:Computable Document Format - wasn't Maple first?:Comments#comment129340</link>
      <itunes:summary>&lt;p&gt;Wolfram had a Mathematica Player around for a lot longer than Maple. I've been using it for various Mathematica files (.nb) for years since many people would post their Mathematica "notebooks" on-line. I'm not that impressed with cdf since it's pretty tied to Mathematica and seems like just a re-branding of their &amp;nbsp;Mathematica Player.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, CDF isn't something special, but Maple wasn't first.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I would prefer if Maplesoft would just improve their LaTeX export since we can't make a thesis in Maple document format and journals don't accept them either. Instead, I'm forced to rely on hacks to fix something that's been broken for years.&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>
