LONG BEACH, Calif. -- April 4, 2005 -- XyEnterprise, the leading developer of XML content management and enterprise publishing software, announced today that its XML Professional Publisher (XPP) publishing software now integrates with Design Science’s standards-based MathFlow™ Editor.

XPP is an XML-based publishing system used to produce scientific, technical and medical journals, as well as many other types of print and electronic publications. Combined with MathFlow‘s intuitive graphical interface, which supports the creation of complex mathematical expressions, publishers of complex mathematical information now have a user-friendly publishing tool that supports the increasingly important MathML standard.

“MathML has been widely adopted as a standard means of representing and exchanging mathematical expressions since becoming a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) recommendation,” says Kevin Duffy President and CEO of XyEnterprise. “We are proud to team with Design Science to offer a solution that supports the MathML standard while providing an intuitive user interface that many authors have been looking for.”

Dr. Robert Miner, Director of New Product Development at Design Science and co-chair of the MathML Interest Group at the W3C, says, “Design Science has long recognized XPP’s capability to rapidly format complex pages and deal with sophisticated mathematics. The integration of the MathFlow Editor with XPP extends our MathML-based offerings and provides customers the ability to adopt a flexible, standards-based solution for mathematical publishing in many environments.”
