Abstract
Taking the example of an innovative textbook on algorithm design, we illustrate the problems to be faced in scientific electronic publishing within the context of open educational environments. The issues to be considered particularly relate to design and choice of media types and document types. In reviewing the textbook’s production process, we show that the problems to be faced are mostly due to a lack of tools to support the authors.
