\section{How Does Scientific Notebook}

\section{Differ from Scientific WorkPlace 2.5?}

If you're familiar with Scientific WorkPlace 2.5, you can think of \textsl{%
Scientific Notebook} as Scientific WorkPlace without TeX. All of our
products save files in LaTeX format. \textsl{Scientific Notebook }saves all
of its files as standard LaTeX articles, although it can read Scientific
WorkPlace files that are written using other styles.

The document production capabilities in \textsl{Scientific Notebook }are
somewhat reduced. Cross-references, BiBTeX bibliographies, and other items
that are resolved through multiple LaTeX passes are not included as features
in \textsl{Scientific Notebook.}

Although both products use LaTeX as their standard file format, \textsl{%
Scientific Notebook }prints its documents directly, while Scientific
WorkPlace uses TeX to typeset documents. \ This means that \textsl{%
Scientific Notebook }does not include\ the Scientific WorkPlace TeX system,
which includes the TrueTeX formatter, TrueTeX Previewer, the Style Editor,
the original Exam Builder, all of the TrueType TeX fonts, and the collection
of TeX styles. This is a reduction of several hundred files and more than
50\% of the required disk space.

The interface to features that affect only the operation of TeX has been
suppressed in \textsl{Scientific Notebook}, although the program can read
and preserve documents that include those features. These features include
the front matter, selection of LaTeX styles, the floating option for
pictures and plots, index entries, and bibliography items.

\subsection{\ New Features in Scientific Notebook}

In addition to the fundamental differences listed above, \textsl{Scientific
Notebook }includes many new features that will also be included in the next
release of Scientific WorkPlace. Some of the new features mean that
Scientific Notebook includes some file constructs that are not handled by
Scientific WorkPlace. These, and the techniques for working around them, are
listed in the section \hyperref{Differences in Documents}{}{}{Differences in
Documents}. \textsl{Scientific Notebook }adds these features not present in
the 2.5 versions of Scientific WorkPlace and Scientific Word:

\subsection{\ Differences in Documents\label{Differences in Documents}}

When you load a \textsl{Scientific Notebook} document with Scientific
WorkPlace, these elements are lost:

\begin{itemize}
\item  The input objects (radio buttons, check boxes, images, submit
buttons, text fields and hidden fields

\item  The new independent setting of .cst files\vspace{1pt}

\item  Page setup

\item  Document Info items: Title, Print options, Links, and the View
Settings
\end{itemize}

\textsl{Scientific Notebook} has a collection of note types in addition to
footnotes and margin notes, but these additional notes are not recognized by
Scientific WorkPlace. They are written to the file as \TEXTsymbol{\backslash}%
customnote. You can provide a definition of \TEXTsymbol{\backslash}%
customnote in tcilatex.tex if you want these to print as either footnotes or
margin notes. For example, you could use the definition \TEXTsymbol{%
\backslash}def\TEXTsymbol{\backslash}customnote\#1\#2\{\TEXTsymbol{\backslash%
}footnote\{\#2\}\}.

Units are written to \textsl{Scientific Notebook} files use the \TEXTsymbol{%
\backslash}unit macro. This is not recognized by Scientific WorkPlace. If
you want to print documents containing units using TeX, you should provide a
definition of \TEXTsymbol{\backslash}unit. For example, you could define
unit with \TEXTsymbol{\backslash}def\TEXTsymbol{\backslash}unit\#1\{%
\TEXTsymbol{\backslash}mathrm\{\#1\}\}.
