\def\acro#1{\textsc{#1}} \title{Editorial} \begin{article} %This is for you Carol\dots The recent headline in the \emph{Financial Times}, ``Hewlett adds to worries in high-techs'' referred, of course, to Hewlett~Packard (no relation, unfortunately). Some articles in this \BV\ are high-\TeX\ but some are no-\TeX -at-all, covering the wider areas of electronic publishing and other ways of conveying maths notation. This \BV\ contains a complete report of the \emph{Portable Documents: What Next?} meeting. The summary of the meeting is complemented by the papers on `Euromath' and `Hyper-G' written by the people who gave those papers. The paper on maths and \acro{HTML} was presented at the \ukt\ meeting on 20~March. On a technical note, I used em\TeX, in its `huge' version running on an \acro{IBM} (Pentium) \acro{PC} to process the \LaTeX\ files, and \acro{DVIPS} together with \acro{GS}view (the Windows Ghostscript viewer) for previewing. This issue of \BV\ would not have been possible without the generous help that I received from the past editors and guest editors, Sebastian~Rahtz, Robin~Fairbairns, David~Carlisle and Malcolm~Clark: they have my sincere thanks. As there is still no permanent editor for \BV, you can work out who is likely to produce the next issue by comparing the list of committee members with the names of those who have already taken their turn. I'll just welcome him with the old clich\'{e}, come on in, the water's lovely! \end{article}
