Abstract

This paper describes the use of transquotation in eBooks to support collaborative publishing. Users are able to prepare content on a wiki and assemble this into a publishable eBook. The eBook content should remain connected to its origin so that as the wiki content changes, the eBook may be revised accordingly. The problems raised in creating a transquoting eBook editing environment include transforming wiki content into a suitable presentation, mapping selections back to plain-text, and mapping existing selections into the presentation space for review.
